Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing a pivot-based tile gallery with an adapted tile (e.g., in an application, such as a web application in a browser). A pivot is code that enables selection of a subset of tiles from multiple subsets of tiles. A pivot element is an interface element that represents a pivot. For instance, selection of the subset of tiles via the pivot may cause a user interface (UI) representation of the tile gallery to include UI representations of the tiles in the selected subset (e.g., and not UI representations of the tiles that are not included in the selected subset). An adapted tile is a tile that includes a wrapper and a second tile. The wrapper wraps the second tile. For instance, the wrapper may enable the adapted tile to use the second tile to implement functionality of an aspect of a resource.

Abstract: An activity stream based interaction model and systems implementing such a model are disclosed. In various embodiments, a text-based tag is recognized in a received communication stream, such as an activity stream. An action indicated by text included in the tag is determined and performed in response to receiving the tag. In some embodiments, a tag to be inserted into the communication stream may be determined automatically by a machine or a process running on a machine, for example a workflow engine.
