Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for creating a database of categorized web feeds, the method comprising: ascertaining a web feed identifier; without the user having to specify a category associated with the web feed identifier, using aspects of the web feed identifier for searching a categorized collection of websites to determine a hierarchical folder path for the web feed identifier; comparing the categorized collection of websites with aspects of the web feed identifier to determine a categorization of a website corresponding to the web feed identifier; providing the client computer with the categorization of the website corresponding to the web feed identifier as a suggested hierarchical folder path for the web feed identifier; receiving input from the user accepting the suggested hierarchical folder path; placing the web feed identifier in a corresponding hierarchical folder path within the database of categorized web feeds such that the web feed identifier is accessible from the database of categorized web feeds and displayable on the client computer according to the associated corresponding hierarchical folder path dynamically displaying on the client computer the web feed identifier in a top level of the hierarchical folder path when the web feed identifier is the only web feed identifier in a favorites database maintained by the client computer that corresponds to the top level of the hierarchical folder path; and dynamically displaying on the client computer the web feed identifier in a sub-level of the hierarchical folder path when more than one web feed identifiers are in the favorites database maintained by the client computer that correspond to the top level of the hierarchical folder path.
