Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for retrieving aggregate social media content metrics from a back end data store using a time series cache. The method involves populating the data store with social media content received from a plurality of social media content sources, periodically prefetching respective time series data packets from the data store, storing the prefetched time series data packets in a time series cache, retrieving, from the time series cache, a sequence of the prefetched time series data packets responsive to a user query, and presenting indicia of the sequence of the prefetched time series data packets to the user. Each time series data packet represents an aggregate of data which satisfies a topic profile for a predetermined window of time.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for combining topic suggestions from different topic sources to assign to textual data items. In some implementations, a first automated topic source provides one or more first topic suggestions to associate with a textual data item. Each first topic suggestion has a respective first characteristic, which can be adjusted. A second automated topic source provides one or more second topic suggestions to associate with the textual data item. Each second topic suggestion has a respective second characteristic, which can be adjusted. The first and second topic suggestions are combined to define a combined list. A reference value is determined or retrieved to impact ordering of the topic suggestions in the combined list.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating claims from sources to update database records. A trust score is developed for each source. If a source submits a claim, the trust score for that source and the value of the claim are evaluated against prior conflicting claims. If the current claim is deemed the most likely, then it is adopted as provisional “truth”. If not, the current claim is rejected.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to identifying unmet demands of users within the context of contact data search. In particular, it relates to identifying those search criteria that, upon being executed on an on-demand system, generate an overall number of search results below a threshold value. The threshold value can represent the real-world based expected value for the number of search results that should have been returned. The expected value can be a relative numerical estimate of the statistical likelihood of certain attributes within population sizes of contacts responsive to the search criteria. Operators of the on-demand system can be alerted to secure additional contacts that meet the search criteria and fulfill the demand for search results.

Abstract: Various implementations are directed to systems, apparatus, computer-implemented methods and storage media for detecting a change in a status of a record and, in response to the detection of the change in status, identifying related users that are currently relevant to the record based on the change in the status. The identified users are subscribed to the record, and as a result, communications generated for the record are distributed to them. In some implementations, currently relevant users are users that have a role in developing, working with or supervising the record in the record's current status, or a role in transitioning the record from its current status to another status. It can be desirable to subscribe currently relevant users because the distribution of communications concerning the record in its current status to these users can benefit an enterprise by virtue of these users knowing the information in the communications.

Abstract: A request message is generated with a trusted network entity executing trusted code on a first network layer. The request message to target a non-trusted network entity executing non-trusted code on a second network layer. The request message is transmitted from the trusted network entity to the non-trusted network entity through at least a policy enforcement entity. The policy enforcement entity applies one or more network traffic rules to enforce a unidirectional flow of traffic from the first network layer to the second network layer. A response check message is generated with the trusted network entity. The response check message to determine whether response information is available on the non-trusted network entity in response to the request message. The response check message is transmitted from the trusted network entity to the non-trusted network entity through at least the policy enforcement entity.

Abstract: A method for logging a user into an online host system begins by receiving a login request from a web browser application of a client device, wherein the login request identifies the online host system. The method continues by initiating a single sign-on routine that involves an online third party system and by obtaining third party user data from the online third party system, wherein the obtained third party user data is associated with the user and is maintained by the online third party system. Host system records maintained by the online host system are modified in accordance with the obtained third party user data. Thereafter, the user is automatically logged into the online host system.

Abstract: Methods and a system for exploiting the secondary traffic generated by social networking sites are disclosed. Traffic on a commercial website is constantly monitored by a web analytics tool, which collects traffic measurements of hits, button presses, enquiries, purchases etc., as well as the referrer URL of a site such as a social networking site through which the commercial website is accessed. The collected measurements are forwarded to a Referred Traffic Analysis System. Concurrently, the Referred Traffic Analysis System crawls the Internet and collects a large number of social networking sites, analyses their content by extracting insight terms and phrases from them. In a third step, the collected traffic measurements are correlated with the collected insights from the social networking sites, and the top insights that reoccur frequently enough to appear to be a driver for the measurements observed, are presented to the client. A corresponding system is also provided.
