Systems and methods for sharing audio feeds
Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling sharing of audio feeds. One method includes receiving, from a user over a network, a request to add an audio feed to a collection managed by the user; storing, in a database, a URL of the audio feed in relation to the collection; receiving, from the user over the network, a request to share the collection; and generating an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
1. A computer-implemented method for enabling sharing of audio feeds, the method including:
receiving, from a user over a network, a request to add an audio feed to a collection managed by the user;
storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio feed in relation to the collection;
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to share the collection; and
generating a sharable location indicator of the collection by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
adding to the collection an advertisement based on content of one or more audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio feed is a podcast.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to add a second audio feed to the collection, wherein the second audio feed has a subject matter similar to a subject matter of the first audio feed.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to add a second audio feed to the collection, wherein the second audio feed is hosted by an entity different from an entity that hosts the first audio feed.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to create a collection of audio feeds, the request including at least one of a name of the collection and ID of the collection.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a list of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying to the user an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
enabling the user to send a third party an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
10. A system for enabling sharing of audio feeds, the system including:
a data storage device storing instructions for enabling sharing of audio feeds;
a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
receiving, from a user over a network, a request to add an audio feed to a collection managed by the user;
storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio feed in relation to the collection;
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to share the collection; and
generating a sharable location indicator of the collection by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
adding to the collection an advertisement based on the content of one or more audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the audio feed is a podcast.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to add a second audio feed to the collection, wherein the second audio feed has a subject matter similar to a subject matter of the first audio feed.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to add a second audio feed to the collection, wherein the second audio feed is hosted by an entity different from an entity that hosts the first audio feed.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to create a collection of audio feeds, the request including at least one of a name of the collection and ID of the collection.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
displaying to the user an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:
enabling the user to send a third party an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of enabling sharing of audio feeds, the method including:
receiving, from a user over a network, a request to add an audio feed to a collection managed by the user;
storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio feed in relation to the collection;
receiving, from the user over the network, a request to share the collection; and
generating a sharable location indicator of the collection by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
19. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising:
adding to the collection an advertisement based on content of one or more audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.
20. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the audio feed is a podcast.
