Abstract: Embodiments relate to efficiently viewing data items in a three-dimensional (3D) space. The 3D space includes a curved surface that is concave with respect to a user-controlled viewpoint in the 3D space. The viewpoint is for controlling the direction and location of a rendered view of the 3D space. The data items have respective values associated therewith. The data items are arranged on the surface according to their values so that a user's ease of viewing the data items varies with their values; data items with some values may be arranged to be easier to view by manipulating the view direction than others (e.g., those with lower values). Ease of viewing can stem from how the surface is oriented relative to the viewpoint, the orientation of the curvature of the surface, the orientation of a controlling reference orientation, alignment of the data items on the surface, etc.

Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern dynamically expiring crowd-sourced content (CSC) in a crowd-sourced database. An example apparatus may include logic for acquiring the CSC, where the CSC is data produced by a mobile device concerning a point of interest. The example apparatus also includes logic for producing an evaluation of the CSC and logic for determining an expiration criteria based on the CSC, the evaluation, and the user. The CSC may be data about a point of interest. The evaluation may be based on the completeness, timeliness, or contents of the CSC. The expiration criteria may be established based on the evaluation of the CSC and a user profile. The expiration criteria or user profile may be manipulated based on confirmation or repudiation of the CSC by a different user or by curation of the CSC.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for determining a meeting location. A group of persons to meet is determined. A conjoined interest set is generated that is representative of the group of persons. Locations of persons in the group are determined to determine a plurality of locations. Local search results for the group of persons are received that are generated based on the conjoined interest set and the determined plurality of locations. The local search results include at least one potential meeting location. The local search results are enabled to be presented to at least one person of the group of persons.
