Abstract: A system and method for externally verifying content popularity served via a content sharing service, including an access analyzer to create a list based on a number of accesses associated with content items served via the content sharing service, an external source interface module to monitor external sources for content items being served via the external sources, a list verifier to determine if the content items from the list match any of the content items from the external sources, and a list generator to create an externally verified list based on the determination from the list verifier.

Abstract: A system for identifying and/or recommending relevant media content is provided. The system includes a relevancy component, a classification component and a notification component. The relevancy component determines a topic or an event related to media content and associates the media content with a group of media content based on the topic or the event. The classification component assigns a classifier value to the media content based on data associated with the media content and the group of media content. The notification component generates a notification message associated with the media content for a user based on the classifier value and a temporal-based relevancy value generated as a function of user context.

Abstract: A processing device computes scores for a plurality of media items. A score for a media item is computed based on a plurality of positive user actions associated with the media item. The media items are ranked based on the scores. One or more of the media items that have not been featured by any source external to the content hosting platform are identified. A popular media item data set is then created, based on the ranking, with highest ranked media items that have been featured by at least one source external to the content hosting platform.

Abstract: A processing device computes scores for a plurality of media items. A score for a media item is computed by determining a plurality of positive user actions associated with the media item, combining a plurality of score contributions from the plurality of positive user actions to determine a value for the score, and applying an exponential decay to the value for the score. The media items are ranked based on the scores. One or more of the media items that have not been featured on any external website or that fail to satisfy another filtering criterion are filtered. A popular media item data set is then populated with highest ranked media items from a remainder of the plurality of media items.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to scheduled online publishing of internet media. Media content, such as a video, can be received for upload to an online server. A future publish time for the media content is determined based on user input, or satisfaction of a set of predetermined criteria. The media content is maintained as unpublished until the future publish time. Exposure of the media content is restricted to authorized users while the media content is unpublished. At the future publish time, the media content is published, and provided to a set of content consumers via the online server.

Abstract: A system and method for organizing social activity information on a website is disclosed. The system comprises a feed serving module and a presentation module. The feed serving module is configured to receive one or more user inputs for one or more activities associated with the social activity information. The feed serving module aggregates the social activity information based at least in part on the one or more user inputs to form aggregated social activity information. The presentation module is communicatively coupled to the feed serving module and is configured to receive the aggregated social activity information from the feed serving module. The presentation module generates a graphic associated with the aggregated social activity information and sends the graphic to a client.

Abstract: A system and method for organizing social activity information on a website is disclosed. The system comprises a feed serving module and a presentation module. The feed serving module is configured to receive social activity of at least a first user from at least one third-parity source. The feed serving module aggregates the social activity information to form aggregated social activity information. The presentation module is communicatively coupled to the feed serving module and is configured to receive the aggregated social activity information from the feed serving module. The presentation module generates feed display associated with the aggregated social activity information and sends feed display to a client for display to a second user.
