Claim 12:
13. The system of claim 9, wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine the first anticipated level of user activity and the second anticipated level of user activity by:
accessing a first attribute table, wherein the first attribute table comprises of a first plurality of attributes describing the first content item on the first sharing platform;
accessing a second attribute table, wherein the second attribute table comprises of a second plurality of attributes describing the first content item on the second sharing platform;
retrieving a first plurality of historic values associated with the first plurality of attributes in the first attribute table;
retrieving a second plurality of historic values associated with the second plurality of attributes in the second attribute table;
retrieving a first plurality of weight values associated with the first plurality of attributes in the first attribute table;
retrieving a second plurality of weight values associated with the second plurality of attributes in the second attribute table;
multiplying the first plurality of historic values of the first plurality of attributes to the corresponding first plurality of weight values for the first plurality of attributes, and storing a first plurality of products of the multiplying the first plurality of historic values to the corresponding first plurality of weight values in a first list of products;
multiplying the second plurality of historic values of the second plurality of attributes to the corresponding second plurality of weight values for the second plurality of attributes, and storing a second plurality of products of the multiplying the second plurality of historic values to the corresponding second plurality of weight values in a second list of products;
determining the first anticipated level of user activity by summing a first products in the first list of products; and
determining the second anticipated level of user activity by summing a second products in the second list of products.
