Abstract
A method is disclosed for estimating a duration that an instance of subject matter-related content will remain relevant. An archive of data sources spanning a period of time is analyzed to identify past instances in time in which a subject matter was newsworthy, and the duration of each instance. On receiving an indication that a user is interested in a current instance of the subject matter, an estimated period of time that the current instance will be of interest to the user is may be determined based on the duration of the past instances. In some aspects, the archive may be a corpus of social media data compiled from a social network, with each data source including or representative of an interaction between users in the social network, and the current instance of the subject technology may include content provided to the user through a social stream.
