Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for enabling users (such as users of a social networking system) to access media effects associated with events. The users may then use the media effects to create media content. For example, a user-selectable option may be provided to a device of a user such that selection of the user-selectable option causes one or more media effects associated with an event to be output by the device. In certain embodiments, techniques are described for selectively providing media effects associated with events to selected users. The selected users may then use the media effects to create media content. For example, a media effect may be associated with one or more conditions for providing the media effect to a user. Only users that satisfy the one or more conditions may get access to the media effect.

Some events may be presented with a visual background such as an image or graphics on the calendar for prompt recognition.

Abstract: A computing system receives user input via a touch-interface that involves motion of one or more touches relative to the touch-interface. Responsive to the user input including two or more concurrent touches of the touch-interface involving motion in a coordinate direction, the computing system compresses graphical content within a graphical user interface in the coordinate direction toward a reference datum line. Responsive to the user input including two or more concurrent touches of the touch-interface involving motion in an opposite direction from the coordinate direction, the computing system expands graphical content within the graphical user interface in the opposite direction and away from the reference datum line.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing whiteboard records accessibility to users interacting with a whiteboard. A whiteboard may enable two or more users to interact with the whiteboard concurrently. The whiteboard may identify the users interacting with the whiteboard and may identify permission settings associated with the users. Based on the identification of the users and detected permission settings, the whiteboard ma activate a whiteboard records accessibility mode to provide access to whiteboard records. In a public mode, any user may interact with the whiteboard, and the whiteboard may provide access to a public records data store. In a private mode, the whiteboard may provide access to a separate private records data store associated with an authenticated user interacting with the whiteboard. When two users interact with the whiteboard concurrently, the whiteboard may separate the whiteboard records such that each user can access records corresponding to the detected permission settings.

Abstract: An application on a computing device includes a digital ink system that supports the input and output of digital ink in a markup language document. Digital ink refers to a digital representation of object (e.g., pen or finger) strokes on an input device that can be displayed on an output device. The markup language document can include, for example, an edit box in which the digital ink and optionally other data can be input. As the input object moves over the input device, data identifying the locations of the input object are captured and embedded in a markup language element of the document. The digital ink system also allows documents including digital ink to be displayed, the digital ink system displaying the digital ink along with any other data included in the document.

Abstract: Techniques to control notifications for a collaboration platform. Content items being stored in the collaboration platform are shared amongst devices coupled to the collaboration platform. To determine whether to subscribe to notifications corresponding to a content item, a notification component of the collaboration platform examines the content item for characteristics of an indirect relationship between the shared content item and a user of a device of the devices. If the indirect relationship exists and warrants a subscription to the notifications, the notification component stores subscription data for the content item and in response to an occurrence of a subscribed activity, the notification component communicates a notification message to the user's device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
