USER-SPECIFIC FEED GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for generating a web-based user content feed given a set of sort and filter criteria. Upon receiving such criteria from a client web browser application, a feed server merges a first feed object and a second feed object having subsets of metadata deriving from a feed item table in the database. The feed server performs the sort, filter, and search operations on the sortable list and retrieves the full metadata from the database. The feed server returns the result to the client web browser application, which displays the content feed to a user.
