Abstract:
In one embodiment, a social-networking system identifies a plurality of third-party applications associated with an online social network, wherein each identified third-party application has one or more connections to users of the online social network, determines a value representing a social relevance of each identified third-party application, wherein the social relevance value is based on one or more connection factors associated with the one or more third-party application connections, selects one of the identified third-party applications based on its determined social relevance value, and generates an advertisement for the selected third-party application.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a social-networking system accesses a social graph, receives a request to generate an advertisement of a third-party application, identifies a set of objects associated with the third-party application, wherein each identified object has been interacted with by one or more first users of an online social network, one or more second users of the online social network, wherein each second user is connected on the online social network with at least one of the first users, and sends to one or more client devices of one or more of the second users, respectively, an advertisement of the third-party application, wherein for each second user the advertisement contains a reference to at least one of the identified objects that has been interacted with by at least one of the first users.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a social-networking system accesses a social graph, receives a request to access a resource of the social graph, generates an advertisement of a third-party application based on the relevance of the third-party application to the user, wherein the relevance of the third-party application is based on social-graph information associated with the user and the third-party application, and sends the advertisement of the third-party application to the client device of the user for display.
Abstract:
Techniques introduced here include a system and method for determining whether to provide a user of a social networking system with candidate users (i.e., potential contacts) with whom the user does not already have any connections with. In some embodiments, the system generates a set of candidate users based on a value (e.g., to the social networking system) associated with each potential connection formed between the user and the set of candidate users. In one or more embodiments, the system ranks the candidate users based on their connection-value to the social networking system and provides the ranked candidate users as suggested new connections to the user.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an intermediate server receives a request with a secure ID to authorize a software application, transmits the secure ID to a system, receives an access token from the system indicating that the software application has been authorized, evaluates the access token for validity, and transmits a response to the mobile device indicating the software application is authorized.
