摘要： An application executes on a client device to automatically subscribe a user to a particular syndication feed. In at least some instances, the user can be preliminarily unaware that they have been subscribed to the feed. In at least some embodiments, the application automatically subscribes to feeds using one or more contact lists that contain contacts that are relevant to the particular user. Specifically, the application is able to access the contact list(s) and ascertain from the individual contacts who, among the user's contacts, constitutes a source of a syndication feed. Once one or more contacts have been identified, the application can automatically subscribe to the feed so that the user can now receive and consume feed data.

摘要： Mechanisms to assist a user in obtaining content may be integrated with the tools that allow the user to author an e-mail message or any other type of document. For example, an e-mail composition system may offer various buttons that allow users to obtain certain types of content - e.g., movie times, restaurant menus, etc. When the user clicks the button, the requested type of content may be obtained, and the user may be offered the opportunity to insert the obtained content into the document that is being authored. The content that is obtained may follow a particular structure. For example, a system might be configured to respond to a request for movie-related content by returning a list of show-times and theaters for a particular movie.
