Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing media bandwidth usage. In some aspects, a request for an image in a first resolution is received. It is determined that communicating the image in the first resolution violates a network connection state restriction for a network connection with a computing device. Based on determining that communicating the image in the first resolution violates the network connection state restriction, the image in a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution is retrieved. The image in the second resolution can be presented at the computing device.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for managing media bandwidth usage are disclosed. One disclosed method includes determining a network connection state of a computing device, receiving a request that requests media content, altering the request to request a synthetic representation of the media content instead of the media content in response to the network connection state being one of a set of predefined network connection states and the media content violating one or more restrictions of the network connection state, and requesting the media content in response to a user selecting the synthetic representation.

Abstract: Systems and methods to provide a prioritized shopping system are discussed. For example, a method can include receiving a list of target items, receiving busyness data for a plurality of local merchants, developing a prioritized shopping plan, and communicating the prioritized shopping plan to a mobile device. Each target item in the list of target items can represents a product or service that a user has indicated an interest in purchasing. The prioritized shopping plan is based at least in part on the busyness data and the list of target items. Busyness data provides an indication of traffic levels within at least a portion of the plurality of local merchants.
