    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for device configuration using commerce messaging history information. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a client inbox request for a user account from a client device, the user account for a messaging system; and transmit an ordered business promotion contact list to the client device in response to the client inbox request; a business contact list component operative to determine a business promotion contact list for a user account for a messaging system; a predicted interest component operative to determine a predicted business messaging interest for each business contact on the business promotion contact list; and a contact ranking component operative to determine a ranking weight for each business contact on the business promotion contact list based on the predicted business messaging interest for each business contact. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for providing search results, such as when performing a type-ahead search. If an exact match to the search query is available, the exact match is used. If no exact match exists, search results are prioritized based primarily on responsiveness and pixel data, and secondarily based on metrics including locale/location, fancount, and social signal information. If a user searches for an entity having multiple results, the system will attempt to find a local result that is proximate to the user, but will prioritize a search hit for a more responsive result over other results. This boosts the chance that the user will get a response if they leave a message for the searched entity. Entities may be omitted from search results if they are unable to send or receive messages.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for presenting and targeting media in communications services. Media, such as live events, updates on a topic of interest, or digests of news sites or other content providers may be surfaced to a user in a number of ways; for example, an article view relating to the topic, a messaging view showing message threads, a media view showing interesting pieces of media, or in an active conversation based on analysis of a conversation and trending topics, such as news events. A system may suggest recipients that may be interested in discussing the content. The recipients may be presented in a ranked order based, for example, on an affinity or relationship of the recipients to a publisher of the content. Publishers may add or remove topics, and may set an end-time at which updates cease. The updates may be presented in a messaging thread.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for identifying messaging robots, or bots, to surface in response to a request. For example, in order to facilitate increased interaction between a user and a bot, a list of candidate bots that the user is likely to be interested in may be surfaced to the user in response to a search for a bot or a request that a bot perform a particular task. Identifying the bots may be accomplished by generating a list of candidate bots and filtering the list based on filtering metrics. Then, the remaining bots may be ranked based on ranking metrics, and the top bots in the ranking may be returned. In some embodiments, two sets of ranks may calculated: one for retention rate, and another rank for the number of messages sent and received by the bots.
