Method, system, and computer program product for sharing information
View Patent ↗In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving an excerpt of information from a first user, wherein the excerpt of information includes information from a target web page; storing the excerpt, in an XML format, in a folder on a storage medium; detecting a change in the target web page; in response to the detected change in the target web page, updating the excerpt of information from the target web page; receiving, from the first user, an identification of a second user with whom the first user wishes to share the excerpt of information; and transmitting a communication to the second user inviting the second user to view the excerpt of information in the folder.
1. A method for sharing information through a first remote server having a first storage medium, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first user via a user terminal, an excerpt of information from at least one second storage medium maintained with at least one second remote server different from the first remote server, wherein the excerpt of information includes a site summary feed from a web page; and
in response to code instructions received from the user terminal, storing the excerpt, in an XML format, in a folder on the first storage medium maintained at the first remote server, wherein the folder is selected from a group consisting of a group folder and a public folder, wherein the group folder is accessible by one or more second users specified by the first user as a group, and wherein the public folder is accessible to all users subscribed to the public folder.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the excerpt has a non-XML format, the first remote server, in response to the excerpt, automatically translating the excerpt from the non-XML format into the XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with the user terminal.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the output excerpt is the translated excerpt.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the excerpt has an alternate XML format, the first remote server, in response to the excerpt, automatically translating the excerpt from the alternate XML format into a generic XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with the user terminal.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the output excerpt is the translated excerpt.
8. A system, comprising:
at least one information handling system comprising a first computing device and a first storage medium, the at least one information handling system configured to:
receive, from a first user via a user terminal, an excerpt of information from at least one second storage medium maintained with at least one second computing device different from the first computing device, wherein the excerpt of information includes a site summary feed from a web page; and
in response to code instructions received from the user terminal, store on the first storage medium the excerpt, in an XML format, in a folder that is preselected by a first user, wherein the folder is selected from a group consisting of a group folder and a public folder, wherein the group folder is accessible by one or more second users specified by the first user as a group, and wherein the public folder is accessible to all users subscribed to the public folder.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the excerpt has a non-XML format, and wherein the information handling system is further configured to:
in response to the excerpt, automatically translate the excerpt from the non-XML format into the XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with a user terminal.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the output excerpt is the translated excerpt.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the excerpt has an alternate XML format, and wherein the first information handling system is further configured to:
in response to the excerpt, automatically translate the excerpt from the alternate XML format into a generic XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with a user terminal.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the output excerpt is the translated excerpt.
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, which when executed by a first computer having a processor and a first storage medium, cause the first computer to perform operations, comprising:
receiving, from a first user via a user terminal, an excerpt of information from at least one second storage mediums maintained with at least one second computer different from the first computer, wherein the excerpt of information includes a site summary feed from a web page;
in response to code instructions received from the user terminal, store on the first storage medium the excerpt, in an XML format, in a folder that is preselected by a first user, wherein the folder is selected from a group consisting of a group folder and a public folder, wherein the group folder is accessible by one or more second users specified by the first user as a group, and wherein the public folder is accessible to all users subscribed to the public folder.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the excerpt has a non-XML format, and wherein the first computer perform operations further comprising, in response to the excerpt, automatically translating the excerpt from the non-XML format into the XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with the user terminal.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the output excerpt is the translated excerpt.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the excerpt has an alternate XML format, and wherein the first computer perform operations further comprising,
in response to the excerpt, automatically translating the excerpt from the alternate XML format into a generic XML format, so that the translated excerpt is compatible for operation with the user terminal.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the stored excerpt is the translated excerpt.
