Publication number: 20140297657Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards modifying when to publish content to a channel for distribution based on monitored actions associated with previously published content. A plurality of publishing slots may be determined from a plurality of time slots. Each publishing slot may indicate a time to publish content to the channel. Content may be published to the channel at each of the plurality of publishing slots. User actions associated with the published content may be monitored. The plurality of publishing slots may be ranked based on these monitored actions. At least one of the plurality of publishing slots may be modified to a different time slot based on the rankings of the publishing slots. The publication of content at a publishing slot may be delayed based on a success of other content published at a previous publishing slot being above a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Dmitry Frenkel, Alex David Weinstein, Sean Cappello

Publication number: 20140278908Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards dynamically managing contextual recommendations that can be employed with content when provided to a channel. A test for a variable having at least two outcomes may be determined to be employed with selected content. Each outcome may correspond to a different contextual recommendation. Each selected content may be published to the channel at least twice, where a portion of the selected content may be initially published based on a contextual recommendation corresponding to a first outcome and later republished based on another contextual recommendation corresponding to the second outcome, and a separate portion of the selected content may be initially published based on the other contextual recommendation corresponding to the second outcome and later republished based on the contextual recommendation corresponding to the first outcome. A preferred outcome for the test may be determined based on user actions associated with the published selected content.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: WETPAINT.COM, INC.Inventors: Peter Raymond Ondish, Alex David Weinstein

Patent number: 8762472Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards personalizing content to be provided to a user. A recommendation score may be determined for a piece of content for a user. The recommendation score may be based on a combination of an intrinsic value and/or a social value of the content to the user. The social value may be calculated based on a combination of an individual social value for each of the user's friends, which may be determined based on the combination of a social weight, an interest probability, and a recommendation score for the friend. Online personalization of content for a user may provide the user with the tools to be a valuable, appreciated member of the user's social network. By employing embodiments, as described herein, content may be determined and provided to a user, which may help the user gain the attention of their social circles.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Wetpaint.com, Inc.Inventors: Alex David Weinstein, Dmitry Frenkel

Patent number: 8706673Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards dynamically managing contextual recommendations that can be employed with content when provided to a channel. A test for a variable having at least two outcomes may be determined to be employed with selected content. Each outcome may correspond to a different contextual recommendation. An outcome to employ with the content may be randomly determined/selected such that each of the outcomes of the test is selected a substantially similar number of times. The content may be modified and/or provided to the channel based on contextual recommendations that correspond to the determined outcome. Actions associated with a plurality of content may be monitored and/or analyzed to determine metrics for each outcome of a test. A comparison of the metrics for each outcome may be utilized to determine a preferred outcome for the test.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Wetpaint.com, Inc.Inventors: Alex David Weinstein, Bo Steven Finneman, Christopher Edgar Newell, Werner Koepf, Dmitry Frenkel

Publication number: 20140095611Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards dynamically managing a plurality of channels for providing content to users. New channels may be automatically generated based on sub-interest groups of existing channels, which may generate a hierarchy of channels, where new content may be posted and/or provided to the new channel, and/or a parent channel. The new channel may be proposed to a user, that accesses content on a channel, to invite the user to subscribe to the new channel. The proposed channel may be determined based on a weight of channels associated with the accessed content. Similarly, a proposed channel may be provided to a publisher for new content based on the weight of channels associated with the new content. Channels may be discontinued if a value of the channel falls below a predetermined threshold. Channels with overlapping characteristics may be merged together if the overlapping channels satisfy merging criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: WETPAINT.COM, INC.Inventors: Alex David Weinstein, Bo Steven Finneman, Dmitry Frenkel, Peter Raymond Ondish

Patent number: 8615656Abstract: A Secure Remote Peripheral Encryption Tunnel (SeRPEnT) can be implemented in a portable embedded device for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) with a much more restricted attack surface than a general purpose client computer. The SeRPEnT device can comprise a small, low-power “cryptographic switchboard” that can operate in a trusted path mode and a pass-through mode. In the trusted path mode, the SeRPEnT device can tunnel connected peripherals through the client to a server with Virtual Machine (VM)-hosted applications. In the pass-through mode, the SeRPEnT device can pass-through the connected peripherals to the client system, allowing normal use of the local system by the user. SeRPEnT can also enable secure transactions between the user and server applications by only allowing input to the VMs to originate from the SeRPEnT device.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: The MITRE CorporationInventors: David Weinstein, Scott Lewis Dyer
