摘要： Embodiments relate to systems and methods for unified login to multiple networked services. A user operates a browser to access a Web site, such as an email portal. The user is presented with a query box to input login information such as a user name and password to view email from an email account. Upon entry of login information to the email or other site, a login manager captures the login information to automatically transmit that information to a local program and associated networked sites or services, such as messenger or media services, that accept the same login information. The login manager logs the user into that program and additional services without the user having to re-enter the same login information. The additional services can be accessed via an online desktop, and the user can configure the additional local programs or registered services via that desktop or other interface.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems that allow users to share information about their recent activities with other users. In particular, as users receive and/or share multimedia content with other users, information that indicates the locations of this content, such as a website, playlist, or file, is passively tracked and logged. This information may be formatted into a viewable form, such as a web site or web log, and cooperatively shared with other users. Users may then incorporate the multimedia content played by other users into their own library. Users may also elect to synchronize their multimedia content with other users. For convenience, multiple locations for the same multimedia content may be determined when it is logged and tracked. Users may obtain the multimedia content using one or more of their existing accounts with a provider at their own discretion.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供允许用户与其他用户共享关于他们最近活动的信息的方法和系统。 特别地，当用户接收和/或共享与其他用户的多媒体内容时，被动跟踪和记录指示该内容（诸如网站，播放列表或文件）的位置的信息。 该信息可以被格式化成可视形式，诸如网站或网络日志，并且与其他用户协作地共享。 然后，用户可以将其他用户播放的多媒体内容合并到他们自己的图书馆中。 用户还可以选择将其多媒体内容与其他用户同步。 为方便起见，在记录和跟踪同一多媒体内容的多个位置可以被确定。 用户可以自行决定使用提供商的一个或多个现有帐户获取多媒体内容。

摘要： Embodiments relate to systems and methods for tracking local and remote file usage, and aggregating the resulting file usage statistics for presentation to a user. The operating system of a local computer can track and generate local file usage statistics, such as most recently used files and editing time. A Web application or service, such as an email or word processing application or service, can record the file usage data for a user's remote stored or served files. A file usage aggregator module, which can be located or resident in the operating system of the local computer or hosted at a Web site, can receive and combine the local and remote file usage statistics. The file usage aggregator module can generate a display of the aggregated file usage statistics, so that local and remote files are listed in a most-recently used order, on a combined basis.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide an aggregated event stream that indicates activities to a user across a range of online services. Embodiments may include a web site, a client application, or mobile device. In particular, a display is provided to a user that indicates various events in a “stacked” format. Each block of the stacked format represents one or more events originating from the user's own activities or activities of the user's contacts in their social network. Activities may originate from accounts on other online services that the user linked to their account or profile. The stacked format is updated in substantially real time to provide the user a sense of the activities of their social network around them.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a mechanism for automatically creating a playlist for a user. In particular, data indicating music played by other users in the user's social network is collected. Music is then selected from this data and gathered from a music service in which the user subscribes, such as iTunes, Yahoo Music, etc. The service then builds the playlist with the gathered music.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and system for allowing an open overlay service for a social network to interface with other online services. In particular, the open overlay service configures its clients to make requests on behalf of the social network. Responses to the requests are routed back to the open overlay service and the information is then provided to the social network. Since the requests come from the client the online services will simply treat them as normal requests, and thus, the open overlay service can seamlessly integrate with a user's online services.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供了用于允许社交网络的开放覆盖服务与其他在线服务接口的方法和系统。 特别地，开放覆盖服务配置其客户端以代表社交网络进行请求。 对请求的响应被路由回到打开的覆盖服务，然后将该信息提供给社交网络。 由于请求来自客户端，因此在线服务将简单地视为正常请求，因此，开放式覆盖服务可以与用户的在线服务无缝集成。
