Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing a native selling platform. In example embodiments, an operating system of a device is configured to share information with other devices and services using native functionalities of the operating system. An indication to share an image of an item is received. A sharing user interface is presented that includes a plurality of services with which the image of the item is sharable. A selection of a publication system from the plurality of services is received. In response, a listing user interface is presented that includes fields for input of parameters used to generate a listing for the item in the image. Parameters and an indication to list the item are received and are shared with the publication system to cause the publication system to create the listing for the item.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for determining an amount of color additive to add to paint. Color measurement data is transmitted via a network is received at a server. A color formulation is identified based on the color measurement data. Historical color recommendation data is accessed from a data repository, where the data repository contains color data that is based on previous color recommendations. The color formulation is adjusted based on the historical color recommendation data, and the adjusted color formulation is transmitted from the server via the network.

Abstract: A system and method for connecting first and second transaction entities includes displaying a transaction associated with the first transaction entity where the transaction may be associated with a category of transactions. An option is also displayed to request interaction with the first transaction entity. A processor receives selection of the option and transmits a command to establish the interaction between the first transaction entity and the second transaction entity. The interaction is recorded and stored in a data storage device. The processor analyzes the recorded interaction and, according to one embodiment, detects one or more keywords in the recording. A notification may be transmitted in response to the detected one or more keywords. In another embodiment, the processor may detect a trend from analysis of the recording and may make a modification relating to future transactions associated with the category of transactions based on the detected trend.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed automating the provision of social media product recommendations in an electronic commerce environment. A search engine submits a request for product-related content, such as a product page, to a merchant web server. In turn, the merchant web server submits a server-side request to a search engine optimization (SEO) application programming interface (API) for processing. In response, the SEO API returns Picks markup content that is associated with the requested product-related content. The merchant web server then combines the requested product-related content with the returned Picks markup content to generate a product page. The product page, which includes the dynamically injected Picks markup content, is then returned to the search engine where it is indexed.
