Provided are techniques for finding content on computer networks. A search request having search terms is received. The search request is executed against an index to identify first search results, wherein the index comprises mappings of search terms to web sites and mappings of search terms to patterns. In response to determining that the search request failed based on first search results, an unknown search term in the search terms that does not exist in the index is found. The unknown search term is matched to a pattern of a similar search term using the mappings of search terms to patterns. A candidate web site is identified based on the matching. Additional content is requested from the candidate web site for the unknown search term to identify second search results comprising previously hidden content. The additional content is indexed.

Task-oriented messages are presented to a user in an interactive format for disposition. Natural language processing techniques parse task-oriented messages for individual tasks, such as assignments, information requests, and requests for approval or authorization. A user interface provides a recipient of a task-oriented message with selectable tasks for individual, or group, disposition, such as respond, defer, delegate, mark answered, and ignore. Recipients are notified if an incomplete response is generated, such as when an identified task is not dispositioned.

Task-oriented messaging system

Provided are techniques for controlling message delivery corresponding to a near field communication (NFC) device, comprising establishing, on a mobile computing device, a rule-based session corresponding to a NFC device; executing an application, corresponding to the NFC device, in conjunction with the session; and responsive to detecting a condition meeting a criterion corresponding to the rule-based session, limiting execution of the application on the mobile computing device in conformity with the criterion.

Non-intrusive proximity based advertising and message delivery

Adjusting system actions based on an absence of relationship acceptance may include detecting absence of connection acceptance by one or more first users in a computer-implemented social networking system. Patterns of the absence of connection acceptance of the one or more first users may be correlated. Users with common patterns of absence of connection acceptance may be clustered into a cluster of users. Absence of connection acceptance by a second user may be detected. Responsive to determining that a pattern of the absence of connection acceptance associated with the second user matches with the common patterns, a profile associated with the second user may be updated according to a template profile associated with the cluster. System actions of the social networking system may be activated for the second user based on the profile updated according to the template profile.

Adjusting system actions, user profiles and content in a social network based upon detected skipped relationships

Obtaining feedback for an event can include receiving, using a processor, sensor data for a plurality of attendees of the event, determining, using the processor, sentiments, of the attendees, for the event from the sensor data, validating, using the processor, the sentiments of the attendees based upon a comparison of the sensor data with historical data for the plurality of attendees, and outputting, using the processor, the validated sentiments.

Embodiments generally relate to management of activity in a collaboration environment. In some embodiments, a method includes monitoring activity characteristics associated with at least one communication channel of a plurality of communication channels, wherein each communication channel enables communication associated with a respective topic. The method further includes determining user information from the activity characteristics, wherein the user information is associated with users who communicate with each other on the at least one communication channel. The method further includes determining timing information from the activity characteristics, wherein the timing information is associated with messages exchanged on the at least one communication channel. The method further includes managing notifications to the users who communicate with each other on the at least one communication channel based at least in part on the user information and the timing information.

Managing activity in a collaborative environment

A computer system implemented method detects that a sender is composing a message designated for delivery to recipients via a computer network. A recipient is selected as an early recipient based on records of reactions associated with historical records for past messages of the recipients. Prior to sending the message, the computer system finds a historical record of the early recipient that matches a portion of the message and presents the sender with a reaction indication based on a record of reaction associated with the historical record of the early recipient that matches the message portion. The computer system receives a modification from the sender for the message portion and generates a modified message by applying the modification to the message. The computer system sends the message to all the recipients, including sending the modified message portion after applying the received modification to the message portion.
