  • Publication number: 20130007029
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for updating information stored in a database system over a network. In some implementations, first contact data is retrieved from a first virtual portion of a database system, where the first contact data provides first contact information associated with at least one entity. In some instances, the first contact data is compared with second contact data, where the second contact data provides second contact information associated with the at least one entity. In some instances, at least some of the second contact information is retrieved from a social networking system. In various implementations, at least one difference between the first contact data and the second contact data is identified, where the at least one difference is capable of being presented in a user interface displayed at a computer system. In some instances, a selection identifying contact data to store is received.

  • Publication number: 20130002676
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for updating and visualizing information stored in a database system over a network. In some implementations, a request to generate a graphical representation of an organizational chart associated with an organization is received. In various implementations, a first individual to include in the organizational chart is identified. Relationship information associated with the first individual is identified, where the relationship information identifies hierarchical relationships between the first individual and a plurality of second individuals associated with the organization. In various implementations, the organizational chart is generated based on the first individual and the relationship information, where the organizational chart identifies the first and second individuals and the hierarchical relationships.

  • Publication number: 20130007049
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for updating and visualizing information stored in a database system. In various implementations, a request to search contact data is received, where the contact data provides contact information associated with at least one entity. Search parameters may be retrieved responsive to the search request, where the search parameters define the search and include a geographical location associated with a source of the request. In various implementations, a first contact is identified based on the retrieved search parameters, where the first contact is identified based at least in part on a geographical distance between the first contact and the source of the request. In some implementations, a geographical representation of the first contact is generated, where the geographical representation indicates a geographical location of the first contact, and where the geographical representation is capable of being displayed at a user interface of a computer system.

  • Publication number: 20130007126
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for updating and visualizing information stored in a database system over a network. In various implementations, first social connection data associated with a subject and an object is retrieved from a user account. In some instances, the user account is associated with a social networking system. In various implementations, second social connection data associated with the subject and the object is retrieved from shared contact data. In some instances, one or more social connections between the subject and the object are identified based on the retrieved first social connection data and the retrieved second social connection data. In some implementations, a graphical representation of the identified one or more social connections is generated, where the graphical representation is capable of being displayed at a user interface of a display device.
