Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining a digital file similar to one used by a device associated with a member of a social network are provided. Digital file information about the digital file is stored on a web-based social network database. The digital file may be located on the same server as the web-based social network database or a third party server such as a mobile phone carrier. A user of the web-based social network database requesting the digital file may require a different format of the digital file than that used by the device of the member. If a different format is requested by the user, a server finds or converts the digital file to be compatible for use by a device specified by the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically locating web-based social network members are provided. According to one embodiment, contact content including an associated GPS identifier and status for web-based social network members located at or near the same location automatically appears on a GPS-enabled device. A further exemplary system includes a GPS-enabled device configured to receive a GPS identifier and a status representing a location and a current state for a web-based social network member, a processing module that associates the received GPS-identifier and the received status, and a communications module that sends the associated GPS-identifier and status to a server comprising a web-based social network database. Contact content in a web-based social network database record in the web-based social network database is updated to include the associated GPS identifier and status for the web-based social network member.

Abstract: A method and/or system allows a user of a social networking service to publish a content item tagged with location information for sharing with other users of the social networking service. The user publishing the content item performs operations on the originating device to generate the content item. The originating communication device attaches the location information to the content item, and transmits the content item to a social networking system. The social networking system may provide various location-based services based on the content item tagged with the location information.

Abstract: A contact file is automatically populated with contact content and expression content. An identifier for a contact is received on a device. The identifier is not recognized as associated with the contact in the contact file, but is used to query a social networking system. Contact content received from the social networking system automatically updates the contact file on the device. As a result, the need to manually populate contact files by using a keyboard or similar data entry device is avoided.

Abstract: A system and method automatically populate a contact file on a device with contact content and expression content. An image or other content associated with a user automatically populates into the contact file from a web-based social network. When the image on the web-based social network database changes, the contact file on the device is automatically updated. As a result, the need to manually populate contact files by using a keyboard or similar data entry device is avoided. The device also may receiving an identifier in the form of caller identification or caller ID from a second device, which may be used to trigger the display of the image from the contact file.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically populating a contact file with contact content and expression content are provided. An identifier is received on a device that is used to query a server in communication with a web-based social network database. According to one embodiment, contact content automatically populates a contact file on the device with contact content from the web-based social network database, including expression content. When the contact content on the web-based social network database changes, the contact file on the device is automatically updated with the updated contact content. As a result, the need to manually populate contact files by using a keyboard or similar data entry device is avoided. Additionally, typographical errors are reduced or eliminated by automatically populating the contact file.
