    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for including information in an invitation from a first to connect with a second user that identifies a context regarding how the first user found the second user. A system can include a request component configured to receive, at a first network source, information identifying a second user that a first user has selected to send an invitation to connect with at the first network source, a context component configured to determine a context regarding selection of the second user by the first user, including where the first user found the information identifying the second user, and a generation component configured to generate an invitation that invites the second user to connect with the first user at the first network source. The invitation comprises first user identification information and context information identifying the context regarding the selection of the second user by the first user.

    Abstract: In a method and system for incentivizing a user to make a purchase, social relationship data for a user of an online social network is identified, and an offer is provided to the user to purchase an item at a promotional price if an acceptance of the offer by the user satisfies a timing condition with respect to the other users purchasing the item. In response to receiving an acceptance of the offer, whether the acceptance of the offer by the user satisfies the timing condition with respect to the other users purchasing the item is determined. In response to determining that the acceptance of the offer by the user satisfies a timing condition with respect to the other users purchasing the item, an indication that the user is allowed to purchase the item for the promotional price can be provided.

    Abstract: A processing device identifies a set of content items to be included in a feed displayed to a user of a social network platform in a user interface of the social network platform, wherein the set of content items are hosted by a content sharing platform. For each content item from the set of content items, the processing device identifies one or more bucketing tokens provided by the content sharing platform, wherein each bucketing token comprises a unique identifier that identifies a plurality of content items as being associated with a group of users of the content sharing platform that have similar interests. Further, the processing device improves a ranking score of each content item from the set of content items that has at least one bucketing token matching a bucketing token associated with the user of the social network platform, wherein the set of content items to be included in the feed displayed to the user in the user interface of the social network platform is to be modified based on improved ranking scores of respective content items from the set of content items.

    Abstract: A user bucketing module on a server in a content sharing platform identifies, in the content sharing platform, a bucket comprising a plurality of associated content items and associates a bucketing token with each of the plurality of associated content items. The user bucketing module receives a request for the bucketing token from a ranking service and provides the bucketing token to the ranking service, the ranking service to apply the bucketing token to a ranking algorithm to determine a ranking score for a content item of the plurality of associated content items.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying a set of digital content that are responsive to a search query; detecting an electronic tag within the set of digital content; automatically converting the electronic tag to a frame element; generating and transmitting to an user device a composite page that: is hosted at a different domain than at least some digital content; includes different digital content from the set of digital content; and initially hides presentation of the frame element in the composite page; receiving a request for additional content generated by the frame element that identifies one of the various digital content sources; embedding observation code into the additional content; and determining that the additional content was visually perceptible on a display of the user device based on an electronic message received from the intersection observer code executing at the user device.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for receiving one or more recipient identifiers and a destination location from a user or an application. A uniform resource locator may be generated and may include a destination ID corresponding to the destination location. An entry containing the one or more recipient identifiers may be generated in an access control list for the destination location. A recipient may request access to the destination location by selecting the uniform resource locator. A recipient identifier may be determined for the recipient requesting the access and may be compared to entries in the access control list. If the recipient identifier matches an entry in the access control list, then the recipient may be granted access to the destination location.
