Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a meeting notification and automatic modification service. A system may be configured to identify an appointment in a calendar application, identify a geographic location of the appointment, and identify, before the appointment time, a geographic location of a first participant of the appointment. Based on the geographic information, the system may identify a route extending from the geographic location of the first participant to the geographic location of the appointment, and may identify a travel time associated with the route. Based on the travel time and the appointment time, the system may determine whether the first participant is estimated to arrive at the appointment on time and, based on the determination, the system may send a message to participants of the appointment or dynamically reschedule the appointment.

Abstract: Techniques to allow a social networking system to provide hints when a user tags an image. In one embodiment, a comment associated with an image to be tagged by a user of a social networking system is received. A hint based on the comment that is suggestive of at least one aspect relating to the image is identified. A set of candidate tags associated with the user is determined. At least one suggested tag from the set of candidate tags is selected based on the hint. The at least one suggested tag is provided for the user to potentially tag the image.

Abstract: A technology for routing traffic from similar users to a same server cluster to improve data center efficiency is disclosed. When a traffic routing server receives a request from a user, the traffic routing server determines an identifier of a partition to which the user is assigned. The user and many other users with whom the user shares a social attribute are co-located in the same partition. The traffic routing server then computes a hash of the identifier using a hash function and locates a server cluster on a consistent hash ring using the computed hash. The traffic routing server then sends the request from the user to that server cluster. By consistently sending requests from users assigned to the same partition to the same server cluster, the technology improves cache hit rates and reduces data duplication across the server clusters, which in turn improves datacenter efficiency.
