20140122531 | IMAGE COMPARISON PROCESS - A computer-implemented method and computing system for comparing, on a computing device, data concerning a first image within a social network to data concerning a plurality of images within the social network. A subset of similar images is identified, chosen from the plurality of images, based, at least in part, upon the comparison. At least a portion of the subset is presented to a computing device associated with a user. | 05-01-2014 |
20140122532 | IMAGE COMPARISON PROCESS - A computer-implemented method and computing system for receiving, on a computing device, a tag associated with a first user concerning a first image within a social network. The method may be further configured to scan the first image to identify whether a human face is present in the first image. If the human face is identified, the method may be configured to compare the human face to that of the first user. If the human face is determined to be that of the first user, the method may be configured to allow the first image to be displayed in a social networking application associated with a second user, wherein the first user and second user are connected within the social network. | 05-01-2014 |
20140181205 | PROMOTING SHARING IN A SOCIAL NETWORK SYSTEM - Implementations generally relate to promoting sharing in a social network system. In some implementations, a method includes receiving one or more media items in a social network, where the one or more media items are associated with a location. The method also includes detecting a post, where content in the post references the location. The method also includes providing a suggestion to a user to share the one or more media items in the post. | 06-26-2014 |
20150066583 | CONTENT DISCOVERY WITH FRIEND AND ANALYTIC DATA - A user may have difficulty making a decision about content such as whether to watch a particular content or determining whether the content is something in which the user will be interested. Disclosed are implementations directed to reengage a user in response to an abandonment event and/or provide analytic data to inform a user's decision regarding consumption of content. Analytic data may be provided to the user to help the user make a decision about what content to consume based on, for example, an abandonment rate or other user metrics that indicate interest or disinterest in certain content. | 03-05-2015 |
