Abstract:
Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for sharing links which include user input. A first web page is displayed in a web browser, where the first web page is associated with a first universal resource locator and includes at least one input element. One or more user entries are received to form a filled-in web page, where each entry is associated with an input element of the at least one input element. Each received user entry is converted into a respective string value. A second universal resource locator is generated based on the string values and the first universal resource locator, where the second universal resource locator, when processed, generates a second web page corresponding to the first web page and having at least one input element filled in based on the second URL.
Abstract:
Video ads that play in connection with the presentation of requested videos can generally be skipped if the content consumer is not interested in watching the ad. However, it is common that the content consumer will let the ad play, but focus attention on a different task (e.g., checking email) until the requested content begins. A determination can be made based on input to a user interface that the presentation of the ad does not have the attention of the content consumer. In response, the presentation can be paused. If the user is not interested in watching the ad, the ad can be skipped, but if the user is interested, the ad will not be missed. Such can mitigate unnecessary expenses for advertisers where their ads are played, but ignored by the content consumer.

Abstract:
A system and method for generating one or more statistics related to a photo. The system and method include collecting information describing circumstances of an event resulting in creation of a first photo taken by a camera; associating the information with the first photo, where the information includes attributes of an image included in the first photo and the camera; analyzing the information with respect to social networking information stored in one or more databases; and identifying one or more other photos related to the first photo based on results of the analysis.
Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for processing user input. User input by a user is received within a first input field. An authentication entry, for authenticating the user via a second input field, is accessed from a database. The received user input is compared with the authentication entry. Based on the comparison, a determination is made that the received user input matches the authentication entry. In response to the determination, a notification that the first input field is incorrect for the user input is provided.
Abstract:
Systems and methods that reproduce surround sound effects from an audio source are described. Wireless communication devices form a wireless network in which music, for example, can be played on the speakers of the wireless communication devices to reproduce surround sound effects from a selected audio source. As the wireless communication devices roam with respect to each other or with respect to a focal point or listening position of the wireless network, the wireless network adjusts how the audio source is played at each speaker of the respective wireless communication device to maintain or to enhance the reproduction of surround sound effects from the audio source.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a method enables rewards from advertisers to users in a social networking service for content provided by the users. A method can include examining content provided by a user associated with the content in a social networking service. One or more references to one or more products or services are found in the content. The method determines an advertising effectiveness of the one or more references to users of the social networking service. The determined advertising effectiveness facilitates a determination of a reward owed to the user associated with the content.
