Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting a diverse mix of content items that may be displayed to a user. Content items such as user-generated events are received from a variety of sources. One or more content items are added to a set of content items based on a diversity of characteristics. The diversity of characteristics for the one or more content items may be calculated by measuring a diversity of characteristics of the set as if the one or more content items were added to the set. Content items that produce a greater diversity are selected for addition to the set. The set is displayed to the user, who is provided with a more meaningful mix of content due to the greater diversity in content.

Abstract: A device, system and method for aggregating resources, services or data across a network in which data and services from various source networks can be converted into an internal, aggregatable form (or vice versa) that can be sent to relevant properties or systems on request or through scheduling. The framework of the device, system and method permits scalability and potentially support any number of users, applications and services.

Abstract: Enabling an authenticated user to access content associated with an authenticated user as though the authenticated user had a selected user relationship with the authenticated user. The user relationship may comprise a relationship degree, a relationship category, a relationship rating, and/or the like. An invitation to join an electronic service, such as an online social network, is sent to the unauthenticated user at an address known to the authenticated user. The invitation includes a time-limited token, such as a URL, that includes an invitation identifier, which relates the invitation to the authenticated user content. The token may be encrypted in the invitation. The unauthenticated user returns the token as a request to preview the authenticated user content without first becoming an authenticated user of the electronic service. If the token is still valid, access is granted. The unauthenticated user may also request to establish a connection with the authenticated user.

Abstract translation: 使经过身份验证的用户能够访问与经过身份验证的用户相关联的内容，就像验证的用户与经过身份验证的用户具有选定的用户关系一样。 用户关系可以包括关系度，关系类别，关系评级等。 加入诸如在线社交网络的电子服务的邀请以经认证的用户已知的地址发送到未认证的用户。 邀请包括诸如URL的时间限制令牌，其包括邀请标识符，该邀请标识符将邀请与认证的用户内容相关联。 令牌可以在邀请中加密。 未经认证的用户作为请求返回令牌，以预先验证用户内容，而不首先成为电子服务的认证用户。 如果令牌仍然有效，则授予访问权限。 未经身份验证的用户还可以请求建立与认证用户的连接。
