    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user of an online social network, a request for a user-list including one or more second users of the online social network. The method includes calculating, for each of the second users, a contact-score between the first user and the second user based on social interactions and non-social interactions between the users. The social interactions are interactions on the online social network visible to the first user based on privacy settings associated with the second user and the respective social interaction. The non-social interactions are interactions on a third-party application accessed by the online social network, shared based on a privacy setting associated with the third-party application. The method includes generating the user-list with references to second users having a contact-score above a threshold contact-score. The method includes providing instructions for displaying the user-list.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph including a number of nodes and a number of edges connecting the nodes. Each of the edges between two of the nodes represent a single degree of separation between them. The nodes include a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network and a number of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network. The method also includes generating a user-list containing references to a number of second users. A contact-score for each second user may be calculated based on interactions between the first user and second user on the online social network, or interactions not on the online social network but accessed by the online social network. A user-list is generated containing references to second users with contact-scores above a threshold contact-score.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system associated with a first user, a request to access a user-card interface. The method includes generating, in response to the request, multiple user-cards, each user-card being associated with a pre-selected query. Each user-card includes references to second users matching the pre-selected query associated with the user-card. The method includes calculating a user-card score for each user-card. The user-card score represents a relevance of the pre-selected query to the first user and a relevance of the second users referenced in the user-card to the first user. The relevance of each second user referenced in the user-card is based on an affinity coefficient of the first user with respect to the second user. The method includes sending, to the client system, instructions for presenting the user-card interface with user-cards in ranked order based on the user-card score associated with each user-card.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system receive an input video associated with a first user of an online social networking system. The computer systems receive, from a client system of a second user of the online social networking system, a request to view content associated with the first user. The computer systems generate one or more output videos based on the input video, the one or more output videos are generated by applying a predefined video template, and the predefined video template includes a plurality of video settings and transcodes the input video to the one or more output videos. The computer systems select one of the one or more output videos, the selected output video comprises at least a portion of the input video. The computer systems provide, for display on the client system, the selected output video together with the requested content.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more first users of a social-networking system associated with one or more content objects not previously viewed by a second user. The identification is based at least in part on an affinity of the second user for the first users and the first users are connected to the second user on a social graph. The method also includes providing, for display on a client device of the second user, information indicating that one or more of the identified first users has content objects not previously viewed by the second user; receiving an input selecting one of the identified first users; and providing, for display on the client device, an online page comprising content associated with the selected first user that incorporates one or more of the content objects not previously viewed by the second user.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input corresponding to a search query from an online page of a social-networking system. The online page corresponds to a target user of the social-networking system. The method also includes identifying one or more of a number of content objects associated with the target user. The association is based at least in part on analyzing text, audio, or visual content of each of the plurality of content objects as well as interactions by the target user with each of the plurality of content objects. The method also includes scoring each of the identified content objects based at least in part on an affinity score of the content object relative to a querying user; and ranking each of the identified content objects based at least in part on the affinity score.
