Abstract: Various embodiments pertain to techniques for proactively delivering navigation options to a user via a mobile device. In various embodiments, one or more navigation options can be determined for the user and delivered to the user's mobile device at a relevant time. Navigation options can be selected based on the user's current location, the user's future plans, the time, and other locally relevant information, such as friends nearby or a nearby favorite location of the user. The navigation options can be delivered to the user's mobile device at a time that the navigation options are relevant.

Abstract: Various other embodiments enable a processing device to receive at least a first set of images from a capture device. In some cases, the first set of images is a video clip captured using a first frame rate over a first duration of time. In some embodiments, the processing device analyzes the first set of images to determine one or more properties associated with the images. Based upon the determined properties, some embodiments modify and playback the first set of images at a second frame rate over a second duration of time.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a video messaging experience which permits the exchange of short video messages in an asynchronous manner. The video messaging experience preserves the video intimacy and experience of synchronous-type video communications, while at the same time provides the convenience of SMS-type message exchange.

Abstract: A social network marketplace may monitor communications between an advertiser and a consumer by generating signatures for communications and tracking those signatures through social network communications until a sale may be consummated. The marketplace may monitor the transactions to determine a user's influence on other users. A user's influence may also be determined or supplemented by monitoring formal or informal social interactions performed on a computer when those communications are able to be monitored. The influence information may be used to select outbound advertisements to those users who may benefit from an advertisement, as well as to filter inbound advertisements to suit a user or a user's situation.
