APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPRESENTING A LEVEL OF INTEREST IN AN AVAILABLE ITEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for indicating a level of interest in at least one available item includes determining a release date for one or more applications and calculating a level of interest for each of the one or more applications. Calculating the level of interest includes retrieving the media for each discussion of one or more applications. The method and apparatus further comprise generating a user interface configured to indicate a level of interest in one or more applications based on the determined release date, and providing the user interface to the mobile device. In addition, in optional aspects, the personalized level of interest may be calculated based on access to user information for one or more available items.
