Abstract: The automated generation of a web site preview based on a web site identifier, where the web site preview has one or more controls that facilitate connection to one or more endpoints. In response to receiving the web site identifier from the client computing system, the service uses the web site identifier to navigate to the web site identified by the web site identifier. After navigating to that web site, the service accesses an action identifier and an associated endpoint identifier from the web site. The service then generates preview data representing a preview of the web site represented by the web site identifier. The service provides the preview data to the client, where the preview with the control is rendered, so as to facilitate connection with the associated endpoint of the control.

Abstract: The generation of a web site preview based on client presentation state of the client that will render the web site preview. Upon a service receiving a request to provide preview data for a web site preview corresponding to a web site identifier, the service determines client presentation state of the client(s) that is or are to render a web site preview using preview data that is to be provided in response to the request. The service selects a preview template at least in part based on the determined client presentation state. The service also populates the selected preview template with content from the web site to thereby generate preview data representing a preview of the web site identified by the web site identifier. The preview data is thus tailored to the presentation state of the client.

Abstract: The automated generation of a web site preview based on a type of the web site. In response to receiving the web site identifier from the client computing system, the service uses the web site identifier to navigate to the web site identified by the web site identifier. After navigating to that web site, the service accesses a type of the web site from the web site. The service selects a predetermined preview template at least in part based on the type of the web site, and populates at least some of the content from the web site to generate the web site preview. Because the web site preview is based on the type of web site, the user sees consistent previews across different web sites of the same type (though the owner might have the option to supersede with their own preview).

Abstract: A data processing system implements establishing a connection with an online communication platform using a first application to facilitate communication with the computing devices of participants to the online communication session, determining that presentation content includes embedded content comprising at least one embedded content item available from at least one content server, and obtaining embedded content information from a source of the presentation content on the data processing system.

Abstract: The following indications can be collected: indications of strength of connection between interconnected user profile pairs for an active user profile and another user profile; indications of strength of affinity within user profile-computer resource pairs; and indications of a global level of affinity of a global group of user profiles for computer resources. Using these indications, the following values can be generated: a connection strength value for each of the user profile pairs; an affinity strength value for each of the user profile-computer resource pairs; and a global affinity level value for each of the resources. These values can be used to rank the resources, which can include generating a ranked resource data structure to be used in providing resource recommendations. Values representing usage of a computer resource by sub-groups of user profiles can be generated and a description of a comparison between the values can be provided.
