A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may operate, for example, obtaining a number of blogs including an initial set of annotated blogs and unannotated blogs. The initial set of annotated blogs are annotated as being either relevant to a selected media program or not relevant to the selected media program. A set of features is determined associating the selected media program with the unannotated blogs and a trained classifier is generated based on the set of features. The trained classifier is applied to the blogs to identify a subset of blogs relevant to the selected media program. An analysis is performed on the selected blogs to determine a trend related to the selected media program and a graphical user interface is presented that concurrently presents the selected blogs, the trend, and the selected media program. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A device, comprising: a memory that stores instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions causes the processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining a plurality of blogs comprising an initial set of annotated blogs and unannotated blogs, wherein the initial set of annotated blogs are annotated as being either relevant to a requested media program of a plurality of media programs or not relevant to the requested media program; determining a set of features associating the requested media program with the unannotated blogs; training a classifier based on the set of features to generate a trained classifier; applying the trained classifier to the plurality of blogs to identify a subset of blogs relevant to the requested media program as a subset of relevant blogs; determining a trend related to the requested media program, based on the subset of relevant blogs; identifying a media program according to the subset of blogs; receiving a blog message from a media processor that requests the requested media program; identifying a blog leader associated with the blog message; and directing the blog message to a blog group of the blog leader. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise identifying the media processor requesting the media program responsive to receiving a notice from the media processor or monitoring the media processor, and wherein the determining of the trend comprises a sentimental analysis on the subset of relevant blogs to determine the trend from one of blog trends favorable to the media program, blog trends unfavorable to the media program, blog topical trends, blog popularity trends, or any combination thereof. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise: subdividing the subset of relevant blogs into blog subgroups comprising one of blogs favorable to the media program or blogs unfavorable to the media program; and supplying to the media processor the blog subgroups for presentation at a graphical user interface. 4. The device of claim 2, wherein the identifying of the media program comprises identifying media program rentals, and wherein the operations further comprise, supplying to the media processor an electronic programming guide listing scheduled media programming selected according to the subset of blogs. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the operations further comprise, supplying to the media processor a video on demand guide listing the media program rentals selected according to the subset of blogs. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the media processor further customizes the electronic program guide or the video on demand guide according to the trend related to the requested media program. 7. The device of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise: selecting scheduled media programming according to the subset of blogs; and supplying to the media processor the subset of relevant blogs for concurrent presentation with the requested media program and a graphical user interface that presents a portion of a selected subset of blogs according to the trend. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: receiving demographic information or psychographic information associated with a user of the media processor; and identifying from the subset of relevant blogs subsets of blogs according to one of the relevance of the subset to the plurality of media programs, the demographic information, or the psychographic information. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of blogs comprises a plurality of micro-blogs, and wherein each micro-blog in the plurality of micro-blogs comprises text content, audio content, image content, video content, or portions thereof, and wherein each micro-blog is associated with a leader controlling the micro-blog and followers participating in the micro-blog. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the device operates as a network element of an interactive television network, a cable television network, a satellite television network, an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem network, or a portal. 11. A media processor, comprising: a memory that stores instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions causes the processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining a plurality of blogs comprising an initial set of annotated blogs and unannotated blogs, wherein the initial set of annotated blogs are annotated as being either relevant to a selected media program or not relevant to the selected media program; determining a set of features associating the selected media program with the unannotated blogs; generating a trained classifier based on the set of features; applying the trained classifier to the plurality of blogs to identify a subset of blogs relevant to the selected media program as selected blogs; performing an analysis on the selected blogs to determine a trend related to the selected media program; and concurrently presenting a graphical user interface that presents the selected blogs, the trend, and the selected media program. 12. The media processor of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise submitting to a device a notice of the selected media program, or receiving a status request from the device prompting the processor to submit the notice to the device. 13. The media processor of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise: identifying metadata of the selected media program; and selecting a relevant subset of blogs from the selected blogs according to an association between the metadata and the selected blogs. 14. The media processor of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a blog message; identifying a blog leader associated with the blog message; and directing the blog message to a blog group of the blog leader. 15. The media processor of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a blog message; and submitting the blog message for posting in a blog of social networks. 16. The media processor of claim 15, wherein the blog message is a speech message that has been transcribed to text by a speech server. 17. A method, comprising: obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, a plurality of blogs comprising an initial set of annotated blogs and unannotated blogs, wherein the initial set of annotated blogs are annotated as being either relevant to a selected media program or not relevant to the selected media program; determining a set of features associating the selected media program with the unannotated blogs; training, by the system, a classifier based on the set of features to generate a trained classifier; applying, by the system, the trained classifier to the plurality of blogs to identify a subset of blogs relevant to the selected media program as selected blogs; performing, by the system, an analysis on the subset of blogs to determine a trend related to the selected media program; and selecting, by the system, media program rentals according to the subset of blogs. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising receiving from a subscriber device a notice of the selected media program, or transmitting a status request to the subscriber device prompting the subscriber device to submit the notice. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the analysis determines the trend according to one of blog trends favorable to each media program, blog trends unfavorable to each media program, blog trends neutral to each media program, blog topical trends, blog popularity trends, or any combination thereof. 20. The method of claim 17, further comprising: receiving, by the system, a blog message; identifying, by the system, a blog leader associated with the blog message; and directing, by the system, the blog message to a blog group of the blog leader.
