Claim 13:
14. A method of generating digital content feeds, comprising:
receiving a plurality of input feeds that include digital content items from a plurality of data sources, wherein the digital content items include entities;
extracting the entities from the digital content items received from the plurality of input feeds;
accessing a dynamic taxonomy data structure including a hierarchal arrangement of the entities with parent nodes as topic entities and child nodes as sub-topic entities wherein each of the entities is used as a topic entity and a sub-topic entity in different branches of the dynamic taxonomy data structure;
calculating relationship strengths between the entities and at least one of the digital content items;
identifying at least one of the entities as a topic entity and one or more of the entities other than the topic entity as sub-topic entities for the at least one digital content item;
determining if each of the entities is included in the dynamic taxonomy data structure;
if at least one of the entities is included in the dynamic taxonomy data structure, then:
adding an entry for the at least one digital content item into the dynamic taxonomy data structure based on a hierarchy as defined by the topic entity and the sub-topic entities;

if the topic entity is not included in the dynamic taxonomy data structure, then:
adding the topic entity and as a parent node;
adding the sub-topic entities as child nodes under the parent node;
adding an entry for the at least one digital content item into the dynamic taxonomy data structure based on a hierarchy as defined by the topic entity and the one or more sub-topic entities;

obtaining one or more of a count, and an average frequency of occurrence (AFOO) per a predetermined number of hours for the topic entity;
identifying that the at least one topic entity is a trending news item based at least on the AFOO value;
producing a cluster of multiple ones of the digital content items received from multiple input feeds of the plurality of input feeds,
wherein the multiple digital content items are similar to the at least one digital content item;

generating a news feed of the cluster of the multiple digital content items from the multiple input feeds including the least one digital content item; and
transmitting the news feed to at least one user communication device.
