Abstract: Methods of the present inventions allow for validating domain name control. An example embodiment of a search engine based domain name control validation method may comprise the steps of submitting a business name to a search engine, receiving a search result webpage having a plurality of links (that each include a domain name), selecting the most relevant link, extracting the domain name from the most relevant link, and generating a record indicating that the extracted domain name is related to and/or controlled by the business.

Abstract: Methods of the present inventions allow for social website account authentication. An example embodiment of a domain name control based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request to verify the authenticity a social website account (the request may comprise a business name and a business email address comprising a first domain name), submitting the business name to a search engine, receiving a search result webpage having a plurality of links (that each include a domain name), selecting the most relevant link, extracting a second domain name from the most relevant link, determining whether the first domain name matches the second domain name, and—if so—certifying the authenticity of the social website account.

Abstract: A method and system for previewing computer output is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the computer output is previewed in a preview area. The computer output has several elements, or pages, arranged in rows and columns. A magnification factor is calculated that is directly related to one of the dimensions of the preview area and inversely related to either the sum of the vertical dimensions of the elements in one of the columns or the sum of the horizontal dimensions of the elements in one of the rows. At least a portion of the computer output is selected for display. The selected portion of the computer output is then displayed in the preview area at the calculated magnification factor.

Abstract: A method and system for previewing computer output that preserves the horizontal and vertical adjacency of the output. The computer output is previewed in a preview area. The computer output has several elements, or pages, arranged in rows and columns. A magnification factor is calculated that is directly related to one of the dimensions of the preview area and inversely related to either the sum of the vertical dimensions of the elements in one of the columns or the sum of the horizontal dimensions of the elements in one of the rows. At least a portion of the computer output is selected for display. The selected portion of the computer output is then displayed in the preview area at the calculated magnification factor.
