  • Patent number: 10893082
    Abstract: Within a social network, a user may establish a set of contacts who share with the user various content items and comments related thereto. However, these content items are often hosted by a content source outside of the social network, and the user may have to transition to the content source to view the content item, and then transition back to the social network to submit a comment. Instead, a device may monitor the social network to record shared content items. When the user requests a presentation of the content source, the content items hosted by the content source that have been shared with the user may be included in the presentation. The presentation of the content source may also accept comments from the user regarding a content item, and send the comments to the social network where the content item was shared with the user.

  • Patent number: 9501490
    Abstract: A most recently used (MRU) client synchronization engine is provided to synchronize a user's most recently used (MRU) document list associated with a client machine with a file hosting server's MRU document list. The file hosting server's MRU document list contains a list of the user's most recently used documents that are stored on the file hosting server. The user's documents that are stored on the file hosting server are accessible to the user on one or more web-enabled client machines. The MRU client synchronization engine analyzes registry data pertaining to the documents that a user uses on the client machine with the file hosting server's MRU document list to determine the user's most recently used documents.

  • Publication number: 20140344352
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an internet-accessible resource service may emphasize a recently accessed data object stored in an internet-accessible data storage 124 on a data object list 300. The internet-accessible resource service may maintain a data object list 300 representing a data object set stored in an internet-accessible data storage 124 accessible by a primary user. The internet-accessible resource service may detect an access of a user-focus data object of the data object set. The internet-accessible resource service may execute a reorganization of the data object list 300 to emphasize the user-focus data object.
