This application describes a system and process for providing object identifiers relating to real world objects to users based on the location of the user and the anticipated interested of the user in an object within a defined distance of the user. For example, if the user is within a retail store, a portable device associated with the user may detect or receive a beacon transmitted from a location within the retail store and object identifiers representative of objects within the store may be generated and provided to the user. In some implementations, only object identifier representative of items determined to be of likely interest to the user may be provided for presentation to the user.

Computer-readable storage medium for presenting object identifiers for real world objects on wearable and portable devices

A social networking system suggests deals relevant to a user. The deals are selected for suggestion based on social information associated with the user. Social information used for selecting candidate deals for a user includes information describing other users connected to the user and their associations with the candidate deals or with related deals, for example, deals from the same provider. Associations of connections of the user with the candidate deals may be determined based on actions associated with the candidate deals performed by the connections. The actions performed by the connections may be weighted based on types of the actions to determine a measure of relevance of the candidate deal for the user. Candidate deals are selected from a set of deals by applying deal targeting criteria received from deal providers. The deal targeting criteria specify attributes describing users to be targeted for a particular deal.

Presenting deals to a user of social networking system

This disclosure describes, in part, systems and methods that enable users to manage, search for, share and discover objects based on a context of the object from the user's perspective. The same object may have vastly different meanings (context) to different individuals based on how they experience the object. Rather than managing objects solely based on information about the object, the implementations described allow users to specify a context for the object and manage objects based on that context. In addition, external sources may provide supplemental information about objects and/or representations of objects.

Object relationships and similarities based on user context

Described are systems and methods that facilitate visual search for and price filtering of information. For example, rather than requiring a user to select a pre-defined price range (e.g., 'under $25,' $25 to $50,' '$50 to $100&#x201d;) for filtering, a user may price filter search results by specifying a single price filtering value around which the search results are filtered. The range around the single price filtering value is dynamically selected based on, for example, the search results being filtered, the past purchase history of the user, past user search history, etc.

Price filtering based on a user specified single price filtering value

In one embodiment, a social networking system receives a request by a first user for user comments associated with a content object, accesses a data store of user comments to retrieve a set of user comments associated with the content object, orders the set of user comments based on a time value associated with each comment of the set of user comment, adjusts the order of user comments based on social graph information of the first user, and presents the adjusted list of user comments to the first user.

Comment ordering system

In particular embodiments, one or more computing devices associated with a third-party system generate a web page comprising one or more references configured to cause a client device to send a request to a web site of a social-networking system to access a user comment, wherein the user comment is associated with content on a third-party web site hosted by the third-party system. The request comprises a first URL that references the web site of the social-networking system, and the first URL comprises a second URL that references the third-party web site and comprises a content identifier for the content, and the request is to cause the web site of the social-networking system to access the user comment in a data store of the social-networking system. The one or more computing devices associated with the third-party system may send the web page to the client device.

Comment plug-in for third party system

In one embodiment, a user comment system receives a user comment associated with a content object, assigns one or more privacy settings to the user comment, and stores the user comment in a data store in association with an identifier unique to the content object.
