Abstract: A system includes an ingestion component configured to receive a request from an entity for content related to a content item and a user identity. The request has a content identifier representative of the content item and a token. A request processing component of the system is configured to access a database associated with the system and identify the content item and the user identity using the content identifier and the token, wherein the database has information associating the token with the user identity and associating the content identifier with the content item. In response to identification of the content item and the user identity, the request processing component directs a recommendation engine associated with the system to identify the content related to the content item and the user identity. Information identifying the content related to the content item and the user identity is then transmitted back to the entity.

Abstract: A media server provides media items to clients via a network. In some instances, limited network performance of the network makes streaming or on-demand downloading of media items infeasible. In these instances, the media server automatically provides media items to clients for download as network performance allows. Media items may be provided to clients without interrupting the activities of users of the clients, and without active monitoring or watching by users. Clients may issue notifications to users when provided media items are ready for presentation, and clients may present the media items for users to consume.

Abstract: A dynamic selection of content from social shares to display in a user interface is performed. A request for a user interface (UI) document is received. A set of identifiers is associated with the UI document. The set of identifiers includes a page identifier for the UI document. An identifier list for a social share associated with the UI document is obtained in view of the page identifier. The identifier list associated with the social share is updated in view of the set of identifiers associated with the UI document. The UI document is modified to provide a representation associated with an identifier selected from the updated identifier list for the social share.
