    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them, where the nodes comprise a first node corresponding to a first user of an online social network, and a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network. The computing system may receive a search query from the first user. The computing system may generate one or more search results corresponding to the search query, where each search result corresponds to a node of the plurality of second nodes. The computing system may score each search result based on a proximity coefficient between the first node and the node corresponding to the search result.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile-client system may store location history data during a first time period in its memory, where the location history data comprises a plurality of geographic locations during the first time period and one or more time stamps corresponding to each of the geographic locations. The mobile-client system may detect whether it has a current network connection to an online social network. The mobile-client system may determine whether to transmit the stored location history data to a location server of the online social network, where if it is currently connected to the online social network, then the mobile-client system transmits the location history data to a location server using the current network connection, and if it is not currently connected to the online social network, then the mobile-client system refrains from transmitting the location history data to the location server.
