Abstract: Techniques for presenting a featured skill of a first member of a social network system are described. An example system presents the featured skill on a profile page of the first member. The system can receive a request to view the profile page from a device of a second member. Additionally, profile data of the first and second members can be accessed, the profile data including skills associated with the first member. An endorser value can be determined for the first member based on a reputation score, the endorser value being associated with the first member having a specific skill. Moreover, a quality score for each skill in the skills can be calculated using the endorser value and the profile data. Furthermore, the featured skill can be selected based on the quality score. Subsequently, a user interface can present the featured skill on the profile page of the first member.

Abstract: A method for bandwidth management in an optical broadcast network includes signaling, for a new optical broadcast service, from an originating node to all nodes in the optical broadcast network, wherein the signaling identifies a wavelength or portion of spectrum associated with the new optical broadcast service; at each of the nodes, checking for contention by the new optical broadcast service; responsive to identifying contention at one of the nodes, signaling the identified contention back to the originating node; and responsive to no contention at any of the nodes, processing the signaling, storing an update of the new optical broadcast service, and either forwarding the signaling to peer nodes or terminating the signaling.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums for matching mentee members with mentor members. The member matching may utilize social networking service data and one or more preferences of both the potential mentees and potential mentors. For example, after indicating an interest in being mentored (e.g., being a mentee), a member may be presented with a list of potential mentors that are selected, scored, and in some examples, ranked based upon the member's preferences, the potential mentors' preferences, and other compatibility factors. The member may then select one or more of these potential mentors.

Abstract: Techniques for validating a skill associated with an endorsement are described. In an example embodiment, disclosed is a system comprising a member database and a skill reputation database. The system can receive, from a user device of an endorser, an endorsement of a recipient in a specific skill. Additionally, an endorser value for the endorser can be determined based on a reputation score that is associated with the endorser having the specific skill. Moreover, an overlap value between the endorser and the recipient can be determined based on employment information and educational information of the endorser and the recipient. Furthermore, a quality score can be calculated for the received endorsement based on the endorser value and the overlap value. Subsequently, a user interface can present, on a profile page of the recipient, a validation for the specific skill when the quality score transgresses a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A contextual profile system is provided with an on-line social network system. In response to a request from a member of the on-line social network system to access a profile page of another member, the contextual profile system determines the context of the request, determines associated key profile units based on the context, and constructs a custom version of the other member's profile page. The custom version of the profile page is then presented to the requesting member.
