The disclosed embodiments generally relate to techniques for tailoring messages for network communication. More specifically, the disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods to provide customized information updates based on recipient preferences. For example, a recipient may prefer receiving updates less frequently than the system creates updates and/or may prefer to receive different levels of data in the updates. In some embodiments, a deltasnap technique is provided which allows for more efficient tailoring of the rate that update messages are provided. In some embodiments, a partitioning technique is provided which allows for more efficient tailoring of the content of update messages. In some embodiments, the deltasnap technique is provided in combination with the partitioning technique which allows for more efficient tailoring of the rate and content of the update messages.
