Abstract: Techniques for augmenting entity references in messages are described. In one embodiment, a method may comprise receiving a message from a referencing client device at a messaging system intended for a third-party receiving user account; determining that the message includes an entity reference referencing an entity; selecting an augmentation element associated with the entity reference; generating an augmented entity reference by augmenting the entity reference with the augmentation element; and sending the augmented entity reference to the one or more client devices associated with the third-party receiving user account. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for generating entity references in messaging groups are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a user interface component operative to predict an entity-reference invocation in a message thread display on a client device; suggest one or more entities for use in the entity-reference invocation in response to predicting the entity-reference invocation; and receive the entity-reference invocation, the entity-reference invocation comprising an entity reference; and a client messaging component operative to generate a message comprising the entity reference; and send the message to a messaging system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Examples of modules include modules for sharing articles, videos, or pictures (e.g., from a social networking service associated with the messaging service). Content recommendations may be provided, and a user may provide a list of users with whom they would like to share the content. The content recommendations may be retrieved from a social network based on consumption information, or may come from multiple different locations. Content may be ranked based on recency, likelihood of user enjoyment, an amount time spent watching the content, etc. A group of recommended recipients may be provided, for example based on the users considered to be most likely to enjoy the content.
