    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 sending, via a beacon of a third-party content provider (e.g., a business), a request to associate with a user's mobile device. The request may be sent when the mobile device is proximate to the beacon, which may be located within a place of business. The request may include an attribute of the business (e.g., the type of business). A wireless communication session may be established between the beacon and the mobile device, and, in response, social-networking information of the user may be received, via the beacon. The particular information sent may be tailored to the business based on the received attribute, and a set of user-specified permissions may delimit what information is sent and to whom the information is sent. Third-party content may be customized based on the received social-networking information and sent to the mobile device for display.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a beacon associated with a third-party content provider (e.g., a business), session information of a user of an online social network. The user's mobile device may have been in at least one wireless communication session with the beacon, and during the session the mobile device was proximate to the beacon. Sponsored content may be received from a third-party system of the third-party content provider. The session information may include an identifier for each of the users, which may be used to access social-networking information for each user. An advertisement may be customized based on the session information, the sponsored content, and the social-networking information, and sent to the user's mobile device for display. User-specified permissions may delimit which information may be used to customize the advertisement and how it may be sent to the mobile device.
