Abstract: Computer implemented techniques for converting a text string to an interactive media. The techniques cause a data processing system to receive a text string having one or more branching moments, process the text string to recognize indications of the one or more branching moments given the text string, convert the processed text string and the indications of the one or more branching moments into executable computer code, receive a response to a given one of the converted one or more branching moments from a predetermined set of responses, generate, from the executable computer code and media elements for the response, a virtual respondent, and store the executable computer code and the media elements as a file in the computer storage that represents the virtual respondent.

Abstract: Computer implemented techniques that involve captured, e.g., self-captured video for educational and other uses such as improving job performance of geographically distributed employees and incremental video optimizations and compressions are described.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for target group management is described. The method includes producing a table including one or more group entries corresponding to one or more defined contact group entities with each of the entries having a first set of group attributes, and producing a visual representation of a marketing campaign, the representation including one or more instances of defined contact group entities, with the one or more instances having a second set of group attributes and with the representation linked to the table according to the second set of group attributes.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for producing a promotion list for a promotion management campaign is described. The method includes assigning one or more promotion instances to the promotions list, and storing the promotion list in an electronic medium.

Abstract: A method that includes presenting in a first area of a graphical interface a plurality of graphical items arranged in one or more sequences of graphical items, each of the graphical items associated with a set of data items, with the plurality of graphical items arranged in a fixed relative order for a particular size of the first area, with a first graphical item in one sequence always being spatially adjacent to a second graphical item in the one sequence, and with another sequence of the one or more sequences of graphical items being spatially adjacent to the same sequence of graphical items preceding the another sequence of graphical items.

Abstract: A method for promotion management is described. The method includes producing a promotion instance from a promotion template, setting one or more attribute fields of the promotion instance, assigning the promotion instance to a group of contact entities, and executing on a computer a marketing campaign based on the setting of the one or more attribute values to the promotion instance.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for producing a promotion list for a promotion management campaign is described. The method includes assigning one or more promotion instances to the promotions list, and storing the promotion list in an electronic medium.

Abstract: A method for producing a promotion is described. The method includes assigning a plurality of basic attributes to the promotion, assigning one or more standard or custom attributes to the promotion, the one or more standard or custom attributes including one or more of a parameterized attribute or a static attribute, and storing the promotion at a location in an electronic medium.
