摘要： Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Content may be ranked and ordered within a module, and modules may be ranked and ordered with respect to each other. Inter-module ranking may be based on elements such as individual activity and the activity of the messaging service's user base, the value of the module to the messaging service, and offline models. Intra-module ranking may be defined by individual modules (e.g., based on recency, importance to user, affinity, etc.). Intra-module ranking may affect inter-module ranking, such as when individual content in a low-rated module is particularly exciting or pertinent (causing the entire module to receive a higher inter-module ranking).

摘要： Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. After a number of recent or unread messages are shown in the inbox's initial interface, the messages end and are replaced with modules. A threshold may be defined for the number of recent/unread messages to display before transitioning to modules. The threshold may be determined dynamically based on a minimum and/or maximum number of messages to display. The determination may be based on the current time, whether there is an active conversation in a thread, whether there are unread messages in a thread, etc. The determination may vary from user to user based, for example, on whether the user is a relatively active user, and/or how the user has used the messaging application in the past.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities that they might not otherwise be aware of (or inclined to use on a regular basis). After a number of recent or unread messages are shown in the inbox's initial interface, the messages end and are replaced with modules. Many different types of functionality may be the subject of the modules (e.g., a module for sharing local content such as photos from a photo album, a People/States module, Top Contacts, New Behavior, Live Videos, Events, Businesses, or Messaging Stickers). Once the available modules have been scrolled through, the interface may revert to more messages, such as less-recent or previously read threads from the original messages. Unread threads may also be collapsed in the top section of the inbox, or included in a module.

摘要： Techniques for group message thread link administration are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a join invitation command associated with a group message thread from an administrator client device, the group message thread associated with a message thread identifier, the message thread identifier identifying the group message thread on a messaging system; and send a join invitation link to the administrator client device; and a group management component operative to generate a join invitation link in response to the join invitation command, the join invitation link comprising a thread invitation identifier, wherein the thread invitation identifier is a hash of the message thread identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
