Abstract: A method of searching data streams arriving over a network in order to look for a predetermined reserved set of indicia first identifies and then tags the data per the found information in a reserved indicia set. The tags are applied by “StreamTagApps” (STAs), which are small, quickly executing software applications that are each focused on the tagging of data that includes a particular indicium in order to make the identification process rapid. The method thus allows very quick action to be taken in order to maximize the usefulness of the data. Multiple STAs in one or both of horizontal and vertical configurations may be constructed in order to provide any necessary level of speed or take full advantage of an available hardware configuration.

Determining in real time via the tag script (a) whether the first ad content was loaded in the web page for a predefined time period, and (b) based on the other determining whether the third area has been scrolled into the second area as of or after the predefined time period has expired, and requesting a second real-time ad bidding auction for a second ad content to be input into the third area and replace the first ad content.

Abstract: An online system uses a model to determine affinities of users for geographical locations. Using the affinities, which may indicate travel-related preferences of the users, the online system may customize content items to include content captured by client devices of other users of the online system. For example, the online system presents to a particular user a content item including a photo or video of a geographical location captured by a camera of a client device of another user who is connected to the particular user. The model may implement, for example, collaborative filtering or other machine learning techniques to determine commonalities between users' travel affinities. Additionally, the model may determine latent properties or temporal trends of user preferences based on training data including historical actions performed on the online system or social data. The model may also classify different types of geographical locations.
