In an embodiment, some of the intervals may indicate a number of content items provided on the network presentation during the time period that corresponds to each particular interval. The indication may be provided by a characteristic, such as for example, a color or shading that represents the number of content items provided on the network presentation. | 10-02-2008 |
20080244438 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING CONTENT BY MONITORING USER-GENERATED ACTIVITY - In an online environment, specific threads or forums of user-generated posts are selected for prominence based on some detected measure of user-activity in that thread and/or forum. The select threads or forums may be identified by measuring or quantifying the amount of interactive content provided in such threads or forums. Based on the determinations, embodiments provide that information or links are displayed in prominence on the online site, where the information or links direct viewers to locations of select threads. | 10-02-2008 |
20120011433 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESENTING CATEGORIZED CONTENT ON A SITE USING PROGRAMMATIC AND MANUAL SELECTION OF CONTENT ITEMS - Embodiments provide for the creation of network pages or presentations that include pages on which programmatically selected/categorized content and manually-identified content from website users may be combined and displayed. | 01-12-2012 |
20120150819 | Trash Daemon - A method of managing a database system that includes a swarm database with nodes of processors and memory. The memory stores programs that can be executed on the processors. Determining data files to delete, moving the data files to delete to a trash directory, truncating using a trash daemon, larger files to delete to smaller sized file pieces and deleting the smaller sized file pieces by a local operation system. | 06-14-2012 |
20120150844 | Slashtags - A method of requesting a search query to be displayed in a web browser. The method includes receiving search terms and slash operators and generating results based on the search terms and slash operators. | 06-14-2012 |
20120158694 | Combinators - A method of managing a database system that receives N number of requests from one or more nodes in the database system. The N requests are combined before initiating operations to attend to the requests. The number of operations to attend to the requests is reduced and this reduced number of operations is executed. | 06-21-2012 |
20120158800 | Hierarchical Diff Files - A method of organizing a data in a database system using a swarm database system that has one or more nodes comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory of the one or more nodes storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors. Identifying data to store in one or more tables on a bucket, wherein the bucket is a allocation of a partitioned storage in a node of the one or more nodes. Assigning to each of the identified data an identifier and a data storage hierarchical level of a plurality of hierarchical levels. | 06-21-2012 |
20120210047 | RAM Daemons - A method of managing a database system using a swarm database system that communicates a request to read data to at least a subset of nodes. Checking the identifier by each respective node in the subset of nodes to determine if the requested read data is stored in the node. Providing the read data to the first node if the respective node in the subset includes read data. | 08-16-2012 |
20120284629 | CHRONOLOGY DISPLAY AND FEATURE FOR ONLINE PRESENTATIONS AND WEBPAGES - A chronology display is generated for use with a web presentation or other form of network presentation. The chronology display may include a plurality of intervals, with each interval representative of a period of time. In an embodiment, some of the intervals may indicate a number of content items provided on the network presentation during the time period that corresponds to each particular interval. The indication may be provided by a characteristic, such as for example, a color or shading that represents the number of content items provided on the network presentation. | 11-08-2012 |
20130091144 | Combinators to Build a Search Engine - A method of counting items in a database system. The database system having nodes comprising processors and memory where the memory stores programs to be executed by the processors. Identifying and counting M unique number of items. Determining and storing a logcount for M unique items. | 04-11-2013 |
20130159251 | Dedicating Disks to Reading or Writing - A method of increasing the speed of disk reading and writing operations in a database by using nodes of memory and processors where the memory stores programs to be executed by the processors. The data in the database is separated into one or more buckets and at least two replicas of each bucket of data are stored in different storage devices of the nodes. Determining a subset of storage devices that will be dedicated to writing, while keeping at least one replica of each bucket dedicated to reading and dedicating at least a substantial portion of the remaining storage devices to reading. | 06-20-2013 |
20130238588 | Dynamic Inference Graph - A search engine system, including a slashtag server configured to detect at least one key word in a search query and generate an alternative search query from the at least one key word, the alternative search query being based at least on computing an intermediary search of a plurality of characters from the at least one key word as the plurality of characters are being typed by a user, and for use in searching unaltered internet documents. Also a web server that may be configured to generate a first search result based on the alternative search query and cause display of the first search result in a web browser. | 09-12-2013 |
20130246405 | Display of Boosted Slashtag Results - At least one key word is detect in a search query. Alternative search query is automatically generated based on the at least one key word. The alternative search query includes a search operator associated with the at least one key word. A first search result is generated based on the alternative search query and displayed in a web browser. | 09-19-2013 |
