Abstract: A social network activity mode that is implemented using social network activity rules is identified. The social network activity rules allow only social network posts of relevance to a particular activity of a user to be presented to the user. The social network activity mode is applied to a group of social network posts. Based upon applying the social network activity mode to the group of social network posts, social network posts that comply with the social network activity rules of the social network activity mode are provided to the user and social network posts that do not comply with the social network activity rules of the social network activity mode are blocked.

Abstract: Determining a reason a user joins a computer-implemented social network service may include automatically monitoring access to content in a social network site by a newly added member of the social network service to form an initial access history of user interactions with the social network site. The initial access history spans a predetermined period of time within a time of the newly added member joining the social network service. The initial access history may be analyzed to determine the reason for joining the social network service by the newly added member. The reason may be automatically leveraged to improve membership participation in the computer-implemented social network service.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for evaluating an impact of a user's content utilized in a social network. Content in a document (e.g., a presentation) that has been posted on a social network environment is detected as being reused by another user in another document. The author of the reused content is then identified. A counter keeping track of the number of times this content has been adopted in derivative works is then incremented. A score (“impact score”), representing the author's ability to influence other users to adopt the author's content in other users' derivative works, is then generated based on the number of times this content has been adopted in derivative works. Social credit is then provided to the author using the impact score. In this manner, recognition is provided to the author thereby providing motivation for users to post created content in the social network.

Abstract: Increasing social network site interactions or user activities in one aspect may include monitoring social network site activities of a first user on a social network site. Based on the monitoring, a second user of the social network site whose postings the first user follows may be identified. The second user's postings that the first user follows may be classified into a content type. The content type indexed by a pair of identifiers identifying the first user and the second user may be stored in a storage device. A notification may be sent to the second user to post content of the content type to promote social network site interactions or activities of the first user.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for tracking, on a position-by-position basis in a diverged code history associated with a diverged source stream, an origin source stream and an original position of code contained within the diverged source stream. Additionally, a modification may be detected with respect to a first portion of the code contained within the diverged source stream at a first position. In such a case, the modification and the first position may be automatically documented in the diverged code history.

Abstract: An indication is received, from a content viewing device used by a remote viewer, that specifies a video content sub-area of interest within streamed video content viewed by the remote viewer. Original video content outside of the video content sub-area of interest is designated as a region not of interest (RNOI) within the streamed video content. A transmission rate of image changes of the original video content within the RNOI is reduced within the streamed video content. Image disparity between the video content sub-area of interest and the RNOI is reduced by continuing to transmit the image changes of the original video content within the RNOI at the reduced transmission rate. Bandwidth consumed to transmit the streamed video content is reduced in relation to the reduced transmission rate of the image changes of the original video content within the RNOI.

Abstract: Identifying changes to copied source to facilitate sharing of the changes, in one aspect, includes comparing elements of a document to other documents in a repository to classify an element of the document as being derived from a source document element of a source document in the repository. A user interface presents indications of all elements of the document classified as being a derived. The user interface also presents an indication of the source document from which the element of the document is derived. A connected graph representing a relationship between the document and the source document is generated and stored. Responsive to determining an update to the source document element, an action is performed to facilitate updating the element of the document based on the update to the source document element.

Abstract: A method for conversation branching may include storing a plurality of messages communicated in an online conversation and generating a fingerprint for each message. The fingerprint for each message may be stored in a lookup table. The method may also include detecting a new message from one of the users and processing the new message to generate an artifact that correlates to the new message. The lookup table may be queried using the artifact to determine a similarity between the new message and each of the stored messages. One or more proposed reply messages to the new message may be generated for branching the online conversation to a new conversation point that corresponds to a selected one of the one or more proposed reply messages. The one or more proposed reply messages are based on one of the stored messages that has a closest similarity to the new message.
