    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate effective management of digital forums between networking groups including co-users of a networking system. In particular, systems and methods involve providing a list of digital forums for sharing digital including digital icons indicating corresponding digital forums associated with respective networking groups. Systems and methods further involve determining subsets of active co-users from the networking groups by detecting interactions between client devices of the subsets of active co-users and the networking system. Systems and methods further include generating a group activity indicator and providing the group activity indicator in connection with the graphical icons for corresponding networking groups. Systems and methods described herein further include features and functionality that enable a user of the networking system to view which networking groups are active and comprehend a level of activity for respective networking groups.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Content may be ranked and ordered within a module, and modules may be ranked and ordered with respect to each other. Inter-module ranking may be based on elements such as individual activity and the activity of the messaging service's user base, the value of the module to the messaging service, and offline models. Intra-module ranking may be defined by individual modules (e.g., based on recency, importance to user, affinity, etc.). Intra-module ranking may affect inter-module ranking, such as when individual content in a low-rated module is particularly exciting or pertinent (causing the entire module to receive a higher inter-module ranking).

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Examples of modules include modules for sharing articles, videos, or pictures (e.g., from a social networking service associated with the messaging service). Content recommendations may be provided, and a user may provide a list of users with whom they would like to share the content. The content recommendations may be retrieved from a social network based on consumption information, or may come from multiple different locations. Content may be ranked based on recency, likelihood of user enjoyment, an amount time spent watching the content, etc. A group of recommended recipients may be provided, for example based on the users considered to be most likely to enjoy the content.

    Abstract: Techniques for generating messages to entities referenced in a messaging thread are described. In one embodiment, a method may receive a partial entity-reference invocation in a message thread; suggest one or more entity-reference invocations based on the partial entity-reference invocation; receive a user selection of one of the suggested entity-reference invocations; generate a message to the entity referenced in the selected entity-reference invocation; and send the message to the entity via a messaging system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
