| 20110231778 | CUSTOMIZING CONTENT DISPLAYED FOR A USER BASED ON USER PREFERENCES OF ANOTHER USER - In one embodiment, a server receives a request from a first user to share content from a first forum (e.g., a webpage) with a second user. In response, the server generates a link to the content for use by the second user. This link includes a pointer to a first user preference associated with the first user. In some instances, the first user preference is stored in conjunction with a unique identifier associated with the first user. Subsequently, when the second user attempts to access the content, the server generates a second webpage that includes the content. The server customizes the webpage (that is to be displayed to the second user) by using the user preferences associated with the first user. | 09-22-2011 |

In one embodiment, an event forum is provided with a connection link to enable a user to retrieve contacts from one or more online social or messaging networks. Upon the user providing authentication credentials to login to the one or more online social or messaging networks, an aggregating service retrieves the user's contacts from each of the networks. In one embodiment, the contacts from all the networks are presented as an aggregated list, allowing the user to select one or more contacts to send a message related to the event forum. In one embodiment, the aggregating service creates a landing web page specific to the message transmitted by the user. In some instances, the landing web page enables the user and the contacts to exchange messages. | 06-17-2010 |
