including the plurality of curated content objects in the sequence of content.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context is an activity.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the activity is working, cleaning, cooking, driving, partying, relaxing, studying, or exercising.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context includes a plurality of activities.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content curator is the user, an identified user other than the user, a user from a plurality of users identified by the user, or a user from a plurality of users associated with an organization.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a content evaluation message, the content evaluation message including a content object indicator identifying a content object from the plurality of content objects, the user indicator, an evaluation indicator identifying an evaluation of the content object by the user, and a context indicator indicating a context associated with the evaluation by the user; and

storing content evaluation information indicating the evaluation, the content object, and the context, and indicating the user as a content curator for the evaluation.

11 . A method comprising:

receiving a request for a sequence of content, wherein the request for the sequence of content includes a context indicator identifying a context, a curator indicator identifying a content curator, and a user indicator identifying a user;

generating, by a processor in response to instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the sequence of content, wherein generating the sequence of content includes:

identifying a plurality of content objects,

identifying a plurality of curated content objects from the plurality of content objects, wherein each content object from the plurality of curated content objects is associated with a positive evaluation of the respective content object by the content curator for the context, and

including content objects from the plurality of curated content objects in the sequence of content; and

transmitting at least one content object from the sequence of content for presentation to the user.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein including content objects in the sequence of content includes:

identifying a plurality of candidate content objects from the plurality of content objects such that the plurality of candidate content objects omits content object from the plurality of curated content objects;

identifying a plurality of selected content objects from the plurality of candidate content objects wherein each content object from the plurality of selected content objects is similar to a content object from the plurality of curated content objects; and

including the plurality of selected content objects in the sequence of content.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein identifying the plurality of selected content objects from the plurality of candidate content objects includes:

for each content object from the plurality of candidate content objects:

determining a similarity metric value for the content object based on the content object and the plurality of curated content objects;

on a condition that the similarity metric value exceeds a similarity threshold, including the content object in the plurality of selected content objects; and

on a condition that the similarity metric value is within the similarity threshold, omitting the content object from the plurality of selected content objects.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the context is an activity.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the activity is working, cleaning, cooking, driving, partying, relaxing, studying, or exercising.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the content curator is the user, an identified user other than the user, a user from a plurality of users identified by the user, or a user from a plurality of users associated with an organization.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving a content evaluation message, the content evaluation message including a content object indicator identifying a content object from the plurality of content objects, the user indicator, an evaluation indicator identifying an evaluation of the content object by the user, and a context indicator indicating a context associated with the evaluation by the user; and

storing content evaluation information indicating the evaluation, the content object, and the context, and indicating the user as a content curator for the evaluation.

18 . A method comprising:

receiving a content evaluation message, the content evaluation message including a content object indicator identifying a first content object, a user indicator identifying a first user, an evaluation indicator identifying an evaluation of the first content object by the first user, and a context indicator indicating a context associated with the evaluation by the first user, wherein the first content object is one of a plurality of content objects;

in response to receiving the content evaluation message, storing content evaluation information indicating the first content object, the evaluation, and the context, and indicating the first user as a content curator for the content evaluation information;

receiving a request for a sequence of content, wherein the request for the sequence of content includes the context indicator, a curator identifier indicating the content curator, and a user indicator identifying a second user;

in response to receiving the request for the sequence of content, generating, by a processor in response to instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the sequence of content, wherein generating the sequence of content includes:

identifying a plurality of curated content objects from the plurality of content objects, wherein each content object from the plurality of curated content objects is associated with a positive evaluation of the respective content object by the content curator for the context, and wherein on a condition that the evaluation identified by the content evaluation message is a positive evaluation, the plurality of curated content objects includes the first content object, and

including content objects from the plurality of curated content objects in the sequence of content; and

transmitting at least one content object from the sequence of content for presentation to the user.
