  • Patent number: 9405845
    Abstract: Adaptable layouts for social feeds are described. In embodiments, shared content is received as a social network action initiated at a user device by a social network user. An activity is generated based on the social network action to collect metadata associated with the shared content. The shared content and the metadata is then mapped to layout templates that are each generated for different display layout formats associated with different types of client devices. Additionally, the shared content and the metadata is mapped to additional layout templates that are each generated for different social network form factors.

  • Patent number: 9342508
    Abstract: Localization techniques are described. In an implementation, data is parsed from a feed of data that is public and not localized. A template is formed from the data for each locale that is to be supported. The data that is localized for a particular locale is presented is based on a particular template for the particular locale.

  • Publication number: 20090248729
    Abstract: A method and a system provide an online application platform in which an entity may create applications to be shared among users of a user community. The online application platform may provide the users of the user community with information regarding applications and entities and may provide the users with an interface for providing feedback with respect to the applications and the entities. The online application platform may track usage of the applications and may store data with respect to the tracked usage. The data may be used to generate business intelligence, which may be used to improve the applications, market the applications, or for other useful purposes. The users of the user community may subscribe to an information update service to receive dynamically communicated application updates, or other information.
