The method can include receiving and parsing text from content in an end user application, comparing the parsed text to social bookmarks and associated metadata from a social bookmarking system and matching portions of the content to respective ones of the social bookmarks and associated metadata based upon the comparison, and directing a visual emphasis of the matched portions of the content in the end user application, whereby the end user application is unmodified to perform the receiving, comparing and directing steps.
摘要:
Provided are techniques for providing annotations for revising a message. A message to be sent from a sender to a recipient is received. A meaning map associated with the sender and a meaning map associated with the recipient are obtained. The message is parsed into sub-constructs. The sub-constructs are compared in the meaning map associated with the sender and the meaning map associated with the recipient. Alternative language for the sub-constructs is identified. Annotations are provided based on the alternative language.
