Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to configuring presence and notifications in persistent conversations. In one implementation, a method includes receiving a presence state associated with a user and causing the presence state to be selectively displayed to one or more target users. The method also includes determining that an event has occurred for which a notification is to be sent to the user, and selectively delivering the notification to the user based on the configured presence state.
Abstract:
A computer system collects user activity data for an online media item. The user activity data includes data for users that are consuming the online media item. The computer system identifies one or more criteria that are associated with the user activity data to use to identify one or more images in the online media item for a thumbnail for the online media item and selects one or more images in the online media item, based on the user activity data, that satisfy the one or more criteria. The computer system recommends the one or more images as the thumbnail for the online media item.

Abstract:
A system and method for generating activity summaries for users. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. Once enough data is received and processed, the data is analyzes and segmented to determine and create an activity summary or story. Content is selected. The selection of the content includes selection of content items, such as multimedia items, e.g. pictures and videos. Secondary information, such as user activity information or location information is analyzed. A story is generated based on the selected content, including the selected content. The story is represented by a display of the selected media and other information associated with the media.
Abstract:
A method includes identifying user activity data of a plurality of users for a first online media item. The user activity data includes a drop-off rate and a consumption rate for the first online media item. The first online media item has a first thumbnail representing the first online media item. The method further includes determining, based on at least one of the drop-off rate or the consumption rate of the first online media item, that a new thumbnail is to be recommended to replace the first thumbnail for the first online media item, selecting the new thumbnail from a plurality of candidate thumbnails, and sending a recommendation of the new thumbnail for the first online media item to a client device of a user associated with the first online media item.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for personalizing landing pages. In one aspect, a method includes generating, by one or more servers belonging to a first domain and for a request, a personalized landing page that includes the personalized landing page data, wherein the landing page belongs to the first domain, and the landing page includes at least one link to a resource of the first party that belongs to the second domain; and providing, by the one or more servers, the personalized landing page to the user device, wherein the personalized landing page, when processed by the user device, generates a personalized landing page environment that belongs to the first domain.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer readable media for persistent conversations are described. In some implementations, a method can include receiving a communication message sent from a first user to at least one other user, and generating a persistent conversation object having a conversation content section and conversation state information. The method can also include storing the communication message in the conversation content section of the persistent conversation object, and forwarding the communication message to the at least one other user. The method can further include updating the conversation state information to reflect the receiving, storing and forwarding of the communication message.
Abstract:
A computing device may receive first message data associated with a messaging group. The computing device may associate the first message data with a messaging thread. The computing device may associate a unique session identifier with one or both of the messaging thread and the messaging group. For a first one or more user devices of the messaging group, the computing device may send the message data along with the unique identifier via a native messaging protocol. For a second one or more of the user devices of the messaging group, the computing device may associate a fallback identifier of each of the one or more second user devices with one or both of the messaging thread and the messaging group, and send the first message data and unique identifier via a fallback messaging protocol.
