Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for watch list oriented processing of events in a multi-object event data processing system. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for watch list oriented processing of events in a multi-object event data processing system, can include pre-processing a set of subscriptions against a pool of objects monitored for events in the data processing system to produce a watch list of objects. The method further can include receiving events in the data processing system corresponding to different ones of the objects in the pool of objects. The method yet further can include comparing the received events to the watch list to determine which events pertain to objects referenced in the watch list. Finally, for each one of the received events, a notification can be forwarded to one or more subscribers corresponding to an object in the watch list matching an object implicated by the one of the received events.

Disclosed is a system and method for generating a web podcast interview that allows a single user to create his own multi-voices interview from his computer. The method allows the user to enter a set of questions from a text file using a text editor. (Answers may also be entered from a text file although this is not the more preferred embodiment.) For each question, the user may select one particular interviewer voice among a plurality of predefined interviewer voices, and by using a text-to-speech module in a text-to-speech server, each question is converted into an audio question having the selected interviewer voice. Then, the user preferably records answers to each audio question using a telephone. And a questions/answers sequence in a podcast compliant format is generated.

Methods for associating multi-lingual audio recordings with visual objects in a presentation system accessed by the Internet network wherein a plurality of visual objects such as charts or slides controlled by a third party in a server can be accessed by any user of the network. Each visual object being associated with an audio recording in any language selected amongst several predetermined languages. In an example embodiment, the method comprises the steps of calling the third party server by the user in charge of the audio recording associated with a visual object via the Public Switched Network, prompting the user on his telephone to enter his user ID; and transmitting by the keypad of the telephone the user ID including a first part defining a first language to be used for recording the recording, whereby displaying the visual object will be automatically synchronized with the audio recording.
