Abstract: Selectively shared and filtered personal information collections are provided. Personal information collections include calendars, task lists, address books, and other collections of information that may be provided by personal information manager (PIM) software. Personal information collections published on a server may be limited on a user-by-user basis as to who may access the collections. Furthermore, collections may be automatically filtered based on a rolling window of dates, reducing file size and maintaining privacy of items outside the rolling window.

Abstract: Embodiments that relate to systems and methods for grouping players into a multiplayer game session are provided. In one embodiment, a first match request for a multiplayer game session is received and includes one or more requested player attributes. A plurality of other match requests are received, with one being a second match request including one or more requested player attributes. The first and second match requests are matched based on the requested player attributes. A notification of the match is sent to a client device of the first requesting player, with the notification configured to be received while the client device runs a user session different from the multiplayer game session. The notification includes a selectable element configured to instantiate the multiplayer game session on the client device in place of a user session when the selectable element is selected.

Abstract: Sharing calendar information may be provided. Calendar information may be shared with individuals that may or may not be associated with a local exchange server in order to coordinate schedules. A determination is conducted to decide whether a sender is authorized to send calendar information to another by examining registration rights. Next, if the registration rights are valid, input may be received from the sender associated with sending the calendar information to another using one or more entry points. Next, calendar information settings are received from the sender, which are used when sending the calendar information to another. Next, calendar information is published to the Internet based on the calendar information settings established by the sender, and provided to others for viewing.

Abstract: A network is audited by running task programs and evaluating the results of the task programs. Task programs are tools that are configured to retrieve information about a particular network device. A service is arranged to coordinate the scheduling, execution, and data collection and aggregation of each task program over disparate networks such as multiple domains. Each task program executes at a scheduled time and provides results to a parser. The parser formats the results and provides the formatted data to the service. The service stores the collected data in a database. A client can schedule and/or review the results of audits by communicating with the service. The collected data can be compared and filtered according to rule-based templates that define acceptable network device configurations. Reports can be generated based on the templates such that a client can evaluate results from task programs executed over the entire network.

Abstract: Large stores of information are often organized in a hierarchical taxonomy to aid a search and retrieval of the information. The hierarchical taxonomy generally consists of related categories of information, called “nodes,” that each may contain information relevant to the search. Each node is addressable according to its path in the hierarchical taxonomy. In information stores where the number of nodes having relevant information is extremely large, such as the Internet, providing a cohesive, intelligent, and organized display of the search results becomes extremely important to the success of a user traversing the store to find relevant information. The invention provides such search results by ranking each node of the taxonomy to determine which nodes are most likely to be relevant to the search request. The invention then creates a conceptually-related “cluster” of nodes by selecting a relevant “seed” node and relevant nodes related to the “seed” node.

Abstract: A system reads a text string from an address entry location of a web browser and determines whether the text string identifies a web page. If the text string identifies a web page, then the identified web page is retrieved. If the text string does not identify a web page, then the system identifies multiple web pages associated with the text string and identifies a best web page from the multiple web pages associated with the text string. The best web page is displayed in a first pane and at least a portion of the addresses associated with the multiple web pages is displayed in a second pane. The system also determines whether the text string to identifies a resource on a local network. An attempt is made to modify the text string to identify a web page if the text string does not already identify a web page. The best web page can selected from a web directory search, a web page search, or a combination of both.
