摘要： Methods, systems, and computer readable media for ordering content in social networking applications are described. A plurality of shared content pieces are received, that are viewable and accessible by at least one viewer. The shared content pieces are displayed in an initial order, wherein the displayed shared content pieces are accessed in a viewer order determined by an individual viewer. The viewer order and the identity of the individual viewer are received and stored in a data store, and the initial order is changed based at least in part upon at least one of the viewer order and the identity of the individual viewer, thereby providing an adjusted order.

摘要： A method, information processing system, and virtual environment, provide location information to users in the virtual environment. A first user is determined to be communicating with a second user in a virtual environment. One of the first user and the second user is determined to have entered a character set substantially matching a keyword in a database entry. Location information associated with the keyword is identified. The location information indicates a location within the virtual environment. The location information is linked to the character set. The character set is visually changed to indicate to the first user and the second user that location information has been linked to the character set.

摘要： When an appropriate context-sensitive ad is created for readers of a content page, it can also serve as a summary of page. In this context, the content indicates anything triggering a user's experience that may be used to decide what ad to show. This could be a particular web site, an application on user's computer, a virtual world, or even a physical location. An embodiment of this invention provides a method to serve the ads previously given on a page or other content to a user, at a time other than when the user is actually consuming that content. This Ads-as-a-summary concept can take various forms. It can also be leveraged at various times, such as a preview.

摘要翻译： 当为内容页面的读者创建适当的上下文相关广告时，它也可以作为页面的摘要。 在这种情况下，内容表示触发用户体验的任何可能用于决定要显示的广告的任何内容。 这可以是特定的网站，用户计算机上的应用程序，虚拟世界，甚至物理位置。 本发明的一个实施例提供了一种方法，用于在用户实际上在消费该内容之外的时间向用户服务先前给予页面或其他内容的广告。 这个广告概括概念可以采取各种形式。 它也可以在不同的时间被利用，如预览。

摘要： The present invention discloses a solution to prevent split entries in an event of a window focus shift while still permitting the focus shift event to occur. The solution utilizes a number of different configurable techniques to accomplish this goal, all of which are designed to permit a user to finish directing input to an original window element, when an automatic focus shift event occurs that directs focus to a different window element. Techniques for preventing split entries can include, but are not limited to, a pause-triggered target shifting technique, a pause-triggered focus shifting technique, a password control focus retention technique, a password control focus shift alter technique, an entry continuation blocking after focus shift technique, an entry continuation alert after focus shift technique, and an entry continuation buffering after focus shift technique. The solution is not to be construed limited to these enumerated techniques.

摘要： A system for providing feedback to a chairperson in an electronic meeting scheduling system to enable improved meeting resource management, in which a chairperson can indicate the attendance modes that are permitted for specific invitees to a meeting. The meeting invitations indicate to the invitees the attendance modes they are permitted to use. Meeting invitees are presented with user interface options allowing them to select from potentially multiple attendance modes, determined in response to inputs from the chairperson, and/or in response to information describing resources. As meeting resources are allocated to accepting invitees, those resources become unavailable for selection by subsequently accepting invitees. Meeting acceptances are collected such that indications of how accepting attendees will attend the meeting are made available in a chairperson interface so that the chairperson can adjust resources allocated for the meeting to reflect how accepting attendees are planning to attend.
