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.
