Abstract: A system and method for generating activity summaries for users. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. Once enough data is received and processed, the data is analyzes and segmented to determine and create an activity summary or story. Content is selected. The selection of the content includes selection of content items, such as multimedia items, e.g. pictures and videos. Secondary information, such as user activity information or location information is analyzed. A story is generated based on the selected content, including the selected content. The story is represented by a display of the selected media and other information associated with the media.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication that a first user has interacted with a second user in a social network, calculating a social affinity score between the first user and the second user based on first user information, second user information, or relationship information between the first user and the second user and scheduling delivery of a notification to the recipient based on the social affinity score. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for generating activity summaries to users of a social network server is disclosed. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. The user activity information is then categorized by a categorization module, which in some implementations, also groups the categorized user activity information in accordance with commonalities identified among the user activity information. The categorized user activity information is ranked according to relevance to the user by the ranking module or according to relevance to the user's contacts. An output generation module 308 determines when the groupings are complete. Activity summaries are then generated by the output generation module. The activity summary includes the categorized user activity information. The activity summary is sent for display on a user device of a user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs for identifying, using historical interactions associated with a first user, contact groups, where the first user is associated with each contact group, are provided. A score, with respect to a second user, is calculated for each contact group based on an amount of interaction between the second user and the respective contact group, thereby deriving a plurality of scores. A first contact group is determined. The first contact group has a first score in the plurality of scores that satisfies a predetermined threshold. A contact group suggestion is generated, responsive to the determining, that comprises an invitation to add the second user to the first contact group. The first user is notified of the contact group suggestion.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing a user with notifications about events in a social network. A system may be configured to determine that a number of events for a user have occurred on a social network, wherein each event for the user is associated with an entity, calculate a score for each event based on a profile for the user and a profile for the entity associated with the event, and generate a notification for the user, wherein the notification comprises a plurality of information elements, wherein each information element is associated with one of the events in the number of events, and wherein the plurality of information elements in the notification are prioritized based on the score for each of the events.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for automatically authorizing data transfer from a third party service to a user device. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: receive a request for data from a user of a user device; receive information associated with the user and information associated with the user device; determine whether the user has previously provided authorization for a particular application available on the third party site; determine whether the user has previously provided authorization for the user device; and if the user has previously provided authorization for a particular application available on the third party site or has previously provided authorization for the user device, send data to the user device.
