Abstract
A host may be enabled to administer a notification system by receiving a notification instruction indicating a user has enrolled in the notification system, identifying metadata associated with the notification instruction, generating update criteria related to the notification instruction and the metadata, monitoring an online resource associated with the notification instruction, determining whether the online resource has been updated, using the update criteria to determine a predicted interest to the user, comparing the predicted interest to a threshold set with respect to the user, and generating a notification when the comparison indicates the user should receive the update.
