Abstract: Affinity scores are computed for a plurality of user accounts, each affinity score quantifies an affinity of a user account to a content creator of one or more digital objects hosted in a content hosting platform. Each affinity score is computed by collecting interaction data for the user account corresponding to the content creator, normalizing the collected interaction data using a total activity data of the user account on the content hosting platform and attribute data associated with the content creator, and generating the affinity score using the normalized interaction data.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are a system and method for providing advertisement content in a media content or streaming environment. A media device, operating as a client device, can receive and play media content provided by a media server. An advertisement server can be used to determine advertisements or other promoted content to be delivered to the client in connection with the provided media content. An optimization service extends the advertisement server's in-built delivery optimization engine or functionality, for example by providing line-item tweaks to manipulate advertisement priority, effective price, or creative rotations; or by providing real-time bidding or pricing tweaks to allow content provider advertisements to compete dynamically with advertisements trafficked by the advertisement server. The advertisement delivery process can be adjusted for particular users, or to address behavioral attributes.

Abstract: This invention relates to signs and cartography, and provides a sign which makes it easier for tourists to find their way around a town or city. In particular the invention provides a navigation sign (1) having a plurality of components. The components are suitable for incorporation into a paving system. The components include an indicator component (2) having a directional indicator, and a receiving section (4, 5, 6, 7). The receiving section is shaped to receive the indicator component (2) and permits relative rotation of the indicator component. The indicator component may be rotated to indicate a particular direction and then fixed in place.
