Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer readable media for persistent conversations are described. In some implementations, a method can include receiving a communication message sent from a first user to at least one other user and generating a persistent conversation object having a conversation content section and conversation state information. The method can also include storing the communication message in the conversation content section of the persistent conversation object and forwarding the communication message to the at least one other user. The method can further include updating the conversation state information to reflect the receiving, storing and forwarding of the communication message.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes systems and methods for off-the-record communication including expiring messages. An example method comprises receiving an electronic communication from a source device, the electronic communication including at least one expiring message, temporarily storing content of the expiring message in a non-durable memory for a predetermined amount of time, durably storing envelope information associated with the expiring message in a durable memory, and determining whether a recipient device for the expiring message is available to accept transmission of the expiring message and determining whether an expiration event has occurred.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for presenting social content on a map are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving a new content item. The new content item is not associated with a social network group comprising a set of subject members and a set of viewing members. The method also includes determining that the new content item is related to the social network group. The method also includes storing the new content item in association with the social network group. The method also includes associating the new content item with a geographic location. The method also includes providing for display a map and an indication of the social network group. The map includes a representation of the new content item. The representation of the new content item is positioned on the map proximate to the geographic location on the map.
Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to updating events in a social network system. In some implementations a method includes generating one or more event objects having an event information section associated with a first user. The method also includes sending a post from the first user to one or more target users in a social network system, updating the one or more event objects based on the event information section, and causing the one or more updated event objects to be displayed along with the post to the one or more target users in the social network system.
Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for presenting profile information on an electronic device of a user, the profile information being associated with a contact of the user, via displaying a contact icon on a graphical user interface of the electronic device, the contact icon corresponding to a contact of the user; receiving user input which specifies selection of the contact icon; and displaying profile information, obtained from a profile associated with the contact corresponding to the selected contact icon, on the graphical user interface.
