Systems and methods for living user reviews

Abstract

Systems and methods for creating an opinion timeline. Users are able to submit ongoing reviews for products and services based on extended use, new revelations, additional features, upgrades and the like. Users can be notified of upgrades or improvements and are requested to provide another review of the product or service which is tied to the original review. Users can also update their review of the product or service based on a change in mind. The opinion timeline can be applied to reviews of products, television shows, music, etc.

1 . A computer system comprising:
 memory; and   a processor in communication with the memory, the processor programmed to allow a user to submit a first review of an asset on a website; store the first review of the asset on the website with a user identifier, allow the user to submit a second review of the asset on the website; store the second review with the first review and the user identifier, and generate an opinion timeline for the asset for the user associated with the user identifier.   
     
     
         2 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the second review is based on a change of mind of the user. 
     
     
         3 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the second review is based on an update of the asset. 
     
     
         4 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to notify the user of an update to the asset, and request the user provide the second review of the asset based on the update. 
     
     
         5 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to analyze the first review and the second review, and recommend another asset to the user based on the first review and the second review. 
     
     
         6 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the asset is selected from the group consisting of a product, a service and media content. 
     
     
         7 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate and transmit a request to the user to submit the second review. 
     
     
         8 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 allowing a user to submit a first review of an asset on a website;   storing the first review of the asset on the website with a user identifier;   allowing the user to submit a second review of the asset on the website;   storing the second review with the first review and the user identifier; and   generating an opinion timeline for the asset for the user associated with the user identifier.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the second review is based on a change of mind of the user. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the second review is based on an update of the asset. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 notifying the user of an update to the asset; and   requesting the user provide the second review of the asset based on the update.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 analyzing the first review and the second review; and   recommending another asset to the user based on the first review and the second review.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the asset is selected from the group consisting of a product, a service and media content. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising generating and transmitting a request to the user to submit the second review. 
     
     
         15 . A computer-readable storage media having computer executable instructions stored thereon which cause a computer system to carry out a method when executed, the method comprising:
 allowing a user to submit a first review of an asset on a website;   storing the first review of the asset on the website with a user identifier;   allowing the user to submit a second review of the asset on the website;   storing the second review with the first review and the user identifier; and   generating an opinion timeline for the asset for the user associated with the user identifier.   
     
     
         16 . The computer-readable storage media of  claim 15 , wherein the second review is based on a change of mind of the user. 
     
     
         17 . The computer-readable storage media of  claim 15 , wherein the second review is based on an update of the asset. 
     
     
         18 . The computer-readable storage media of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 notifying the user of an update to the asset; and   requesting the user provide the second review of the asset based on the update.   
     
     
         19 . The computer-readable storage media of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 analyzing the first review and the second review; and   recommending another asset to the user based on the first review and the second review.   
     
     
         20 . The computer-readable storage media of  claim 15 , further comprising generating and transmitting a request to the user to submit the second review.
