The present disclosure provides systems and methods for low-latency provision of content. The method includes receiving one or more signals indicating a current location of a client device; before receiving an input query from a map application of the client device, retrieving characteristics of the client device; and generating a set of identifications, the set of identifications including the current location of the client device, and the characteristics of the client device. The method further includes determining that a query prediction exceeds a threshold; responsive to the determination that the query prediction exceeds the threshold, selecting a link to a geographic location of an entity that is associated with the query prediction; and, responsive to a selection of a map application on the client device by a user, transmitting the selected link to the client device before receiving a query from the user of the client device.

Systems and methods for low-latency provision of content

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for distributing content items. In one aspect, a method includes presenting an immersive content item at a client device. The immersive content item includes a first presentation interface that includes a scrollable image portion that presents an image having a first interaction point and a preview graphic indicating the availability of other images for presentation. The immersive content item also includes a second presentation interface that is initiated upon interaction with the first interaction point. The second presentation interface includes a scrollable image portion that presents an image from a plurality of images and an image sequencing indicator.

Immersive content items

A system including a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: generate a dynamic object having rich content, interactive code and multiple platform operability logic that allows the interactive code to operate on a plurality of platforms; send the dynamic object to one of the plurality of platforms; process the dynamic object on the one of the plurality of platforms; and provide one or more interfaces for user engagement to perform an interaction specified by the dynamic object.

Dynamic, interactive objects for posting

A system and method for suggesting to a first user about a second user who is available to have social interactions with the first user at a specific time based at least in part on user context for activities associated with habits of users. A habit engine determines habits of the first user and the second user to identify when each user is available for the social interactions. A context engine determines user context for a group of activities performed by the first user and the second user. A suggestion module identifies a time when the first user and the second user are available for the social interactions associated with a first activity having a matching context. The suggestion module provides a first suggestion that the first user join the second user in the first activity in a social network.

Application and sharer specific recipient suggestions

A system and method for providing a suggestion to a first user about adding a second user to a social group of the first user based at least in part on the context of an interaction between the first user and the second user. A connection application receives first user and second user activity on the third-party website responsive to authenticating the first user and the second user on the third-party website. The connection application identifies an interaction between the first user and the second user on the third-party website and determines the context for the interaction between the first user and the second user on the third-party website. The connection application identifies a group that the first user created on the social network based on the identified context and provides a suggestion to the first user that the first user add the second user to the group.

Context based group suggestion and creation

A system and method for delivering a message to one or more users from a sender disclosed. The channel application includes a habit engine, a context engine and a channel suggestion module. The habit engine determines habits of a user to identify when the user is available for interactions and categorizes user consumption of information as being a channel including push, queue or pull. The context engine determines a group of contexts for activities when the user is available for interactions. The channel suggestion module identifies a first context and a time of a message and provides the message to the user based on the time corresponding to the user's habits, the first context corresponding to one of the contexts in the group of contexts and the channel.
