Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for managing and negotiating SSL certificates as part of a handshake between a client computing device and a website hosting infrastructure. Certificates for a website are stored in a common storage and are lazy-loaded into cache memory when the website is requested by a client. Certificates are served by the hosting infrastructure responsive to a handshake request from a client by determining if a certificate for a hostname in the handshake request is in cache memory. When available, a cached certificate is served. When a cached certificate for the hostname is unavailable, a certificate is retrieved from the common storage, placed in cache memory, and served. OCSP stapling data is lazy-loaded and served also from the cache memory. Hence, a certificate is available immediately upon deployment, without costly reconfiguration of the hosting platform to accommodate new certificates and new hostnames.

Abstract: Techniques for contextual commenting on the web are disclosed. In some embodiments, contextual commenting on the web includes receiving a content selection for a comment within a corpus of content; determining a contextual based location within the corpus of content to map the contextual comment to a subset of content with the corpus of content; and storing the comment and the contextual based location within the corpus of content for the comment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for placing an overlay in video content are provided. A method receives video content and input indicating an overlay to be placed in the video. The method determines, based on overlay and video properties, locations where the overlay can be placed. The method presents suggested locations for the overlay and receives a selection of a suggested location. The overlay is placed in the selected location. A system includes memory with instructions for inserting an overlay into video content. The system receives an indication of an overlay to be placed in the video, performs attention modeling on the video to identify zones likely to be of interest to a viewer. The system presents locations within the identified zones where the overlay can be inserted and receives a selection of a location. The system inserts the overlay into the selected location and renders the video with the inserted overlay.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for various embodiments of an Automated Creative Content Generation (ACCG) system provide different methods for automating the creative generation of customized variations of original content productions. The original content productions may include images and/or text. Various methods are presented by which the ACCG system begins with an original content production, searches for alternative content, potentially modifies the alternative content, and automatically creates one or more content variations that include the alternative content.

Abstract: Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for managing elements and users of a community-based content aggregation system. An element is received that includes content associated with a community topic. The element is provided to a moderator and an approval of the element is received. The element is stored with elements attributes that can include a comment, a rating, and a label identifying a sub-topic of the community topic. A search request is received and the element is outputted in response to the request. A rating and a comment on the element is received and stored in the element attributes. Approval of the comment is received. In some embodiments, points may be awarded to a user for participating in the community and the user's user level may be modified based on the points of the user.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and associated method for fast computation content recommendation is provided. A dynamic user profile for a user is determined. The dynamic user profile is based on one or more fingerprints of viewed documents by the user. One or more relevant documents are determined based on the dynamic user profile and the fingerprints of documents in the system. A list of the one or more relevant documents is then provided to the user.
