AUTOMATICALLY RELATING CONTENT TO PEOPLE

摘要

A user associates other users or content with a representation of a topic area, in a computing system. Profile associations between users and the topic areas are generated by detecting that users are associated with the topic areas, or that users have added content to the topic areas. User profile information is automatically updated based upon the profile associations generated.
