Systems and methods are disclosed for providing social crowd data for a number of social locations. In one embodiment, a social browsing system processes social crowd requests using social locations collected for users over time. In one embodiment, upon receiving a social crowd request, for each of one or more social locations identified for the social crowd request, the social browsing system identifies a social crowd for the social location. Optionally, the social crowds may be filtered. Social crowd data is generated for the social locations based on user profiles of the users in the corresponding social crowds. In one embodiment, the social crowd data is returned to a user device of a requesting user. In another embodiment, the social browsing system visualizes the social crowd data and returns the visualized social crowd data to the user device of the requesting user for presentation to the requesting user.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing private location tracking. In general, a location-aware mobile device includes a location broker. Over time, as a location of the mobile device changes, the location broker generates a number of route fragments each defining the location of the mobile device over a corresponding period of time. The location broker obfuscates the route fragments and sends the obfuscated route fragments to a remote server for storage. At some point, the location broker receives a location tracking request from a requestor. In response, the location broker processes the location tracking request such that one or more obfuscated route fragments that are relevant to the location tracking request are obtained from the remote server and de-obfuscated to recover the corresponding route fragments. The recovered route fragments may then be utilized by the requestor.

Systems and methods are disclosed for following status updates sent by users in crowds of users. In one embodiment, a requestor is enabled to follow status updates sent by users in a crowd of users even after the users have dispersed from the crowd. More specifically, in one embodiment, a requestor selects a crowd to follow. Subsequently, after one or more users have left the crowd, status updates from the users are obtained and sent to the requestor. In another embodiment, a requestor selects a crowd to follow. Subsequently, after some or all of the users in the crowd have dispersed, status updates from users in new crowds in which those users are located are obtained and sent to the requestor. In another embodiment, a requestor is enabled to follow a user such that the requestor receives status updates from crowds of users in which the user is located.

A system and method for predicting a future location of a user are provided. In general, a prediction basis including crowd data describing crowds in which a user was included during a number of reoccurring time windows is generated. Each reoccurring time window may be, for example, a day of the week (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday), a portion of a day of the week (e.g., Monday Morning, Monday Afternoon, Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, etc.), a day of the month (e.g., 1st day of the month), a day of the year (e.g., March 25th), or the like. The prediction basis of the user is then used to predict one or more future locations of the user.

Systems and methods for providing content recommendations to a user based on aggregate profile data of other users that the user is predicted to encounter in the future are disclosed. In general, an aggregate profile is obtained for a predicted encounter of a first user. The aggregate profile is based on user profiles of a number of second users identified for the predicted encounter. In one embodiment, the predicted encounter is a predicted physical encounter. In another embodiment, the predicted encounter is a predicted remote encounter. One or more content recommendations are then obtained for the first user based on the aggregate profile for the predicted encounter. The content recommendation may be, for example, a recommended movie, a recommended television program, a recommended news article, a recommended user-generated video (e.g., a recommended video on YouTube.com), or the like.

A method and system are provided for simulating recommendations for unavailable users in a social media recommendation network. In general, the social media recommendation network is formed such that each user in the social media recommendation network sends and receives recommendations from their friends. When one of the users in the social media recommendation network is unavailable, a recommendation simulator operates to simulate recommendations from the unavailable user. When the user once again becomes available, the recommendation simulator ceases simulation of recommendations from the user.

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for searching social networks. A device is encountered that sends a query. The query comprises a search packet. A content search is performed according to a query parameter described by the search packet. The content search is then repeatedly performed according to a duration parameter described by the search packet.
