<p>System and methods manage information using entity-centric objects. Systems and methods aid a user in staying abreast of up-to-date information about particular named-entities that are of interest to the user. Entity-centric objects are employed for organizing information about corresponding entities. In general, the entity- centric objects are software objects (e.g., data structures) that contain information (which may be information collected electronically, such as via the web, and/or which may be provided by any of various information sources) about a corresponding entity, such as a corresponding named-entity. The entity-centric objects contain pre-defined categories of information about a corresponding named-entity, such as photograph(s), statistics, news, biographical information, upcoming dates of interest, etc. A user may select those named-entities that are of interest to the user, and the corresponding entity-centric objects for the selected named-entities are associated with the user and facilitate satisfying the user's informational desires about the named-entities.</p> |
