  • Patent number: 11226988
    Abstract: A social networking system suggests events for a target user based on stored data in the social networking system related to the target user and to events. The social networking system may suggest events based on the target user's affinity for, connections with, or interactions with objects in the social networking system connected to or otherwise associated with the events. For example, an event is suggested to a target user if users connected to the target user already accepted an invitation to the event. As another example, an event organized by a particular entity is suggested to the target user because of interactions between the target user and other content provided by the entity. Invitations to suggested events may be presented to the target user via a client device, allowing the target user to easily join a suggested event.

  • Patent number: 10460400
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine one or more social networking system anniversary events associated with a first user, the anniversary event having a month and a day that is identical to the current month and day. The one or more anniversary events are filtered using filtering criteria. An indication, such as a notification or a promotion, relating to the one or more anniversary events is generated based on satisfaction of the filtering criteria.

  • Patent number: 10270732
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving a previous communication associated with a user on an online social network, the previous communication having been made on a date in the past; calculating a distribution-probability score for the previous communication reflecting a probability that the previous communication will be shared on the online social network by the user; and sending the previous communication to the user, wherein the distribution-probability score for the previous communication satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20160057199
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive an initial request to upload a media file. A first portion size for the media file can be determined based on information included in the initial request. A first data start position and a first data end position for the media file can be transmitted based on the first portion size. A first portion of the media file can be received. In some instances, the first portion can be acquired from the media file based on the first data start position and the first data end position.
