Abstract: A social media platform can enable a user to promote and organize events in an automated manner. In some cases, a user can specify one or more interest categories pertaining to, relevant to, and/or otherwise associated with the event. Further, the interest categories that are specified by the user for a particular event can be used to automatically recommend or suggest that event to one or more other users. In some cases, the social media platform can automatically suggest or recommend a particular event based on the interest categories selected by the users who indicated that they plan to attend the event.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe data storage and data processing techniques that can be used by a computer system to enable a user of a social media platform to establish multiple user aliases. By using multiple user aliases, the user can selectively control the dissemination of information to other users. For instance, a user can establish two different user aliases on the social media platform, and use each of the user aliases to perform different social media actions. The user can use the user aliases to present different information regarding himself, publish different content, and/or interact with different groups of users.

Abstract: In an example method, a system receives a social media event template including template social media event content and an indication of a recurring schedule. The system generates a series of social media event items in a calendar database based on the social media event template. The system receives a command indicating a modified recurring schedule for the social media event template. In response, the system identifies a particular social media event item that has been previously modified but has a start time that has not been modified. The system generates a notification to the controlling user of the particular social media event item to provide a modified start time for the particular social media event item.
