  • Patent number: 8909719
    Abstract: Primary and secondary messages are included in a feed according to a “full thread” mode or a “stream” mode. The “full thread” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include both primary and secondary messages. In contrast, the “stream” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include only primary messages. In this way, a feed viewed in “full thread” mode provides to users a comprehensive view of messages included in the feed. Alternatively, a feed viewed in “stream” mode provides to users a concise view messages included in the feed.

  • Publication number: 20130055070
    Abstract: A web page including one or more web applications is generated using third-party scripts, in a manner that protects private content that may be included in the web page. According to this technique, third-party scripts that are to be executed within a browser environment are instead executed by a web server that is generating the web page, so that the web server can protect against any programmatic attempts to improperly access private content included in the web page.
