Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a geographic content discovery application. The geographic location of a client device is determined. Opportunities to obtain content are communicated to the client responsive to the client device being located in a defined geographic boundary. The content may be determined as a function of relevance, incentives associated with the geographic boundary, or nearby clients.

Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a collaborative ticketing system that manages various aspects of ticketing for events (e.g., movies, concerts, sporting events, and the like) using knowledge about the contacts, friends, and other social connections of system users. The collaborative ticketing system may generate dynamic ticket offers that are based on the number of friends, invited by users, ultimately obtaining tickets. The collaborative ticketing system can also streamline the procurement of concessions and other event-related items by allowing users to pre-purchase such items (e.g., in connection with ticket offers), and then pick up the items at the event venue with little or no wait. In addition, users can preview event-related content (e.g., movie trailers) for event providers (e.g., movie studios), and answer questions or otherwise provide feedback about the event-related content in return for special offers, rewards, and other considerations.

Abstract: Systems and associated processes are disclosed for generating recommendations for users based on the computing device likely to be utilized by the user to execute an application, among other things. These systems and processes are described in the context of an interactive computing system that enables users to download applications for mobile devices or for other computing devices. The performance of applications running on the user's computing device can be monitored with the performance data being collected and provided to the interactive computing system. The interactive computing system can include a recommendation system or service that processes the performance data and using the performance data, among possibly other data, the recommendation system can recommend alternative applications to the user for download.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying user interface improvements from observed user behavior. A use case description is obtained from a developer of an application. Usability metrics are collected that observe interaction of a plurality of users with a user interface of the application. The usability metrics are analyzed in conjunction with the use case description to identify at least one aspect of the user interface for improvement. The aspect includes a page or an actionable element. Information is provided to the developer about the at least one aspect of the user interface identified for improvement.
