    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a requesting user for communication-channel information from a client device, determining a set of communication channels based on an affiliation coefficient between a target user and the requesting user, wherein each of the communication channels is associated with one or more user-selectable elements of a plurality of user-selectable elements, calculating a score for each of the communication channels based on a social proximity between the target user and the requesting user, and sending to the client device instructions for presenting one or more of the user-selectable elements associated with each of the communication channels in an order based on the respective score of each of the communication channels.

    摘要: A social networking system provides relevant content objects at the request of social networking system users. Relevance scores are determined for content objects by matching user location, user interests, and other social information to the content, location, and timing associated with content objects. A ranked list of content objects can be provided to the user, where the content objects are relevant to them based on their interests, location, and other social information. The system provides a user interface that displays a map containing pins, where each pin represents a content object in actionable proximity to a user. The content objects selected to be presented as pins to the user are those content objects with sufficiently high relevance scores. Multiple pins for a nearby area can be clustered. The user can switch between zoom levels for the map, thereby showing pins at varying distances from the user's current location.

    摘要: Advertisement content associated with an entity having a physical location is selected for display to a user by a client device. A proximity of the client device to the physical location is determined. In response to determining the proximity between the client device and the physical location, an advertisement is generated that includes the advertisement content and an indicator of the physical location. The generated advertisement is sent to the client device for display to the user.

    摘要: An online system provides a local reach advertisement create flow that determines an estimated radius of a target area for serving an ad to optimize local awareness of the ad based on the advertiser's ad campaign goals. The ad create flow receives location information about an ad target location identified by or associated with the advertiser, and information describing the ad campaign associated with the advertiser. Using the advertising information and population density information associated with the ad target location, the online system selects a target area for serving the ad to reach an estimated number of online system users based on the ad budget and provides an indication of the selected region and the estimated ad reach to the advertiser.

    摘要: To provide more contextually and temporally relevant information to its users, a social networking system may surface relevant information about a target user with whom an recipient user is likely to interact. The social networking system predicts whether the recipient user is likely to be in contact with a target user, either currently or in the near future. If contact is predicted, the system determines information about the target user that that the recipient user may find of interest for their interaction. To determine what information may be of interest, the system determines a relevance score for information items about that target user. The system can then use the relevance scores to decide whether and which information items to surface to the recipient user, e.g., in the form of notifications.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a search request is received from a first user, the request including the first user's location. One or more search results and their corresponding geographic locations located within a threshold geographic distance of the first user's location are determined in response to the search request. Each of the search results is ranked based on a recency of one or more rating values associated with the search result, the one or more rating values being associated with one or more second users, respectively. Ranked search results are sent for presentation to the first user.
