摘要:
A social networking system infers a user's present interests based on the user's recent actions and/or the recent actions of the user's connections in the social networking system. The social networking system also determines a set of concepts associated with each of a set of information items, such as advertisements. By matching the user's present interests with the concepts associated with the information items, the social networking system selects one or more of the information items that are likely to be of present interest to the user. At least one of the matched interests and concepts are not identical. The social networking system then presents the selected information items for display to the user, thereby providing information based on an inferred temporal relevance of that information to the user.

A social networking system (SNS) provides sponsored stories and organic stories about actions taken by other SNS users to a viewing user. Organic stories are selected based on the likelihood the viewing user is interested in their content. While advertisers compensate the SNS for presentation of sponsored stories, the sponsored stories also include information about actions by other SNS users. To increase the likelihood the viewing user interacts with sponsored stories, a common communication channel is used to present both the sponsored stories and the organic stories. To simplify selection of organic stories and sponsored stories, the SNS determines a common unit of measurement for both and makes selections based on the common unit of measurement.

摘要:
A social networking system associates one or more objects in the social networking system with a link to content external to the social networking system. This allows information about the object to be used as a proxy for information about the external content. An index associating objects in the social networking system with links to content external to the social networking system is maintained. A received link to external content are parsed into components, such as a domain name, a path, and a query string, and the components are compared to the index to identify an object associated with one or more of the comments of the received link. One or more rules may be applied to increase the likelihood of the identified object having similar subject matter as the external content.
