Abstract

Technologies for electronic communication may include receiving a group of indications. Each indication of an element of digital content may be configured to be downloaded to a client from a digital distribution framework. The technologies may also include evaluating each of the elements of digital content and, based on the evaluations, suppressing a display of one or more of the indications on the client.

Claims (39)

1 - 18 . (canceled)

19 . A method for electronic communications, comprising:

receiving a group of indications, each indication of an element of digital content configured to be downloaded to a client from a digital distribution framework;

evaluating each of the elements of digital content; and

based on the evaluations, suppressing a display of one or more of the indications on the client.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein suppressing the display includes:

removing the one or more indications from the group of indications;

sending a modified group of indications to the client.

21 . The method of claim 19 , wherein suppressing the display includes obscuring the display of the one or more indications from within the client.

22 . The method of claim 19 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a user-based rating of the element of digital content.

23 . The method of claim 19 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a number of times the element of digital content has been downloaded.

24 . The method of claim 19 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a source of the element of digital content.

25 . The method of claim 19 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating known properties associated with the element of digital content.

26 . At least one machine readable storage medium, comprising computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:

receive a group of indications, each indication of an element of digital content configured to be downloaded to a client from a digital distribution framework;

evaluate each of the elements of digital content; and

based on the evaluations, suppress a display of one or more of the indications on the client.

27 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein suppressing the display includes:

removing the one or more indications from the group of indications;

sending a modified group of indications to the client.

28 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein suppressing the display includes obscuring the display of the one or more indications from within the client.

29 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a user-based rating of the element of digital content.

30 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a number of times the element of digital content has been downloaded.

31 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a source of the element of digital content.

32 . The medium of claim 26 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating known properties associated with the element of digital content.

33 . A system for electronic communication, comprising:

a processor coupled to a computer readable medium; and

computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by the processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:

receive a group of indications, each indication of an element of digital content configured to be downloaded to a client from a digital distribution framework;

evaluate each of the elements of digital content; and

based on the evaluations, suppress a display of one or more of the indications on the client.

34 . The system of claim 33 , wherein suppressing the display includes:

removing the one or more indications from the group of indications;

sending a modified group of indications to the client.

35 . The system of claim 33 , wherein suppressing the display includes obscuring the display of the one or more indications from within the client.

36 . The system of claim 33 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a user-based rating of the element of digital content.

37 . The system of claim 33 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a number of times the element of digital content has been downloaded.

38 . The system of claim 33 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating a source of the element of digital content.

39 . The system of claim 33 , wherein evaluating each of the elements of digital content includes evaluating known properties about the element of digital content.
