A group of post data items may be identified at a first location. Presentation of the group of post data items may be provided at a second location. A post data item in the group of post data items at the second location may be identified where the post data item is in reply to another post data item in the group of post data item. A user may be identified for notification of the post data item. A determination of whether the user interacted with the group of post data items at the first location or the second location is made and a notification for the user that includes a reference to the group of post data items at the first location or the second location is provided.

Recipient location aware notifications in response to related posts

In one aspect, a method is provided, including the following method operations: receiving a request to generate a first post data item at a first location; providing for presentation of the first post data item at a second location; receiving a request to generate a second post data item at the second location, the second post data item being in reply to the first post data item; identifying a destination for notification about the second post data item; providing in association with the destination a notification identifying the second post data item, the notification being associated with the first location.

A computer-implemented method can include accessing a micro-blog to retrieve a real-time copy of the micro-blog thread and delivering the real-time copy of the micro-blog thread for display in an e-mail message.

This technology is directed to compressing dependency graphs in online communities, e.g., social networks, by determining a dependency graph and by performing a transitive reduction on the dependency graph. The transitive reduction may be used in various applications, e.g., for loading software modules in social networks, without causing inefficiencies by loading the same modules multiple times. In some instances, the systems and methods include 1) sorting nodes (e.g., modules) in the dependency graph into a list in a valid dependency order (a node depends only on nodes earlier in the list), 2) iterating over the list while building a map from any node to all of its dependencies, 3) iterating through the dependency graph in reverse order, and for each node, iterating through its dependencies (also in reverse order) and removing each dependency if it is a transitive dependency of any of the previous dependencies of that node.
