Various embodiments of a technique to securely process and transfer a token in a distributed chain database are described herein. The technique includes receiving a valid call to a transfer function to execute a transfer, intercepting the transfer function call and routing a check function to an authorization service that is executed on a chain database, and determining in the authorization service whether the transfer is authorized. The authorization service includes a state that is controlled by a process that is executed off the chain database and returns a value that indicates whether the transfer can proceed. The system then determines whether to validate or invalidate the transfer in response to the returned value.

Secure processing and transfer of tokens in a distributed chain database

A method for notifying users of an online social network of an activity performed within a web site that is external to the online social network by an individual who is a registered user of the online social network and the web site. The method comprises the steps of receiving a notification package from the external web site, the notification package including a notification message that describes the activity performed, parsing the notification package to extract a list of recipients, each of whom is to receive the notification message, and issuing the notification message to each of the recipients.

Method for generating social network activity streams

Membership in a social network is virally expanded by suggesting to a user to invite contacts from the user's address book and, in addition, eligible contacts from other address books. Eligible contacts from other address books include those contacts that have e-mail addresses with the same e-mail domain as the user's e-mail address.

Method of virally expanding social networks

Primary and secondary messages are included in a feed according to a 'full thread' mode or a 'stream' mode. The &#x201c;full thread&#x201d; mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include both primary and secondary messages. In contrast, the &#x201c;stream&#x201d; mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include only primary messages. In this way, a feed viewed in &#x201c;full thread&#x201d; mode provides to users a comprehensive view of messages included in the feed. Alternatively, a feed viewed in &#x201c;stream&#x201d; mode provides to users a concise view messages included in the feed.
