Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes identifying a request to generate a collection for collecting a set of content items for a user, determining a set of rules associated with the collection, the set of rules comprising one or more of one or more collection update rules or one or more collection maintenance rules, determining access rights with respect to the collection and generating the collection according to the set of rules, and providing access to the collection according to the access rights in response to the request. Other aspects can be embodied in corresponding systems and apparatus, including computer program products.

Abstract: In one aspect, a machine-implemented method for facilitating a virtual content wall corresponding to a point of interest is provided. The method includes receiving a content item generated at a user device, determining a geographic location associated with the content item, identifying a point of interest having a geographic location that matches the geographic location associated with the content item and adding the content item to a set of content items corresponding to the point of interest. Other aspects can be embodied in corresponding systems and apparatus, including computer program products.

Abstract: A method and computing system for receiving an indication of a first photo being uploaded to a web-based resource. A first capture date is determined for the first photo. A first object is associated with the first photo. The first object is positioned within a graphical representation of a calendar based, at least in part, upon the first capture date.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for providing determined content to users. The system includes a social network engine, an affinity module, an optimization module and a content determination module. The social network engine receives registration data from a first user. The affinity module determines one or more affinities between the first user and one or more second users. The optimization module optimizes a content type for the first user. The content determination module determines content of the optimized content type published by the one or more second users and combines the determined content to generate a post based on the one or more affinities. The content determination module provides the post to the first user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for expanding the functionality of a browser URL input box are provided. A first input is received from a navigation field at a browser. An input type of the first input is determined. A plurality of repositories are searched for one or more browser extensions based on the input type. A set of browser extension results are displayed within the navigation field based on a confidence score associated with each repository of the plurality of repositories. The confidence score indicates a probability of a user's intent to use a browser extension included in the browser extension results.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing and incentivizing user engagement with indications of acknowledgement at a social network is described. An acknowledgement application receives indications of acknowledgement associated with at least one information item from a first user and at least one second user at a social network. The acknowledgement application aggregates and processes the indications of acknowledgement. The acknowledgement application provides at least one result from the processing in response to hovering over an option for the indications of acknowledgement associated with the at least one information item. The acknowledgement application rewards the first user at least one numerical point based on indications of acknowledgement associated with the at least one specific topic and provides at least one badge of achievement to the first user on accumulating at least one threshold of a total number of points.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computing system for receiving, on a computing device, a tag associated with a first user concerning a first image within a social network. The method may be further configured to scan the first image to identify whether a human face is present in the first image. If the human face is identified, the method may be configured to compare the human face to that of the first user. If the human face is determined to be that of the first user, the method may be configured to allow the first image to be displayed in a social networking application associated with a second user, wherein the first user and second user are connected within the social network.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to sharing photos in a social network system. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a geographic location associated with each photo of a plurality of photos associated with a user. The method also includes providing a geographic map to the user, where each photo is displayed on the geographic map based on the geographic location of each photo. The method also includes enabling the user to select photos to share based on interaction with the geographic map.
