A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating first metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The first metrics include a first metric indicating a first duration of playback of a first content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the first content item during the playback of the playlist is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric to a creator or curator of the playlist, logging second user interactions associated with the playlist, and generating second metrics based on the logged second user interactions with the playlist. The logged first user interactions correspond to more deviations from a default playback sequence of the playlist than the logged second user interactions.

Playlist analytics

A method includes generating metrics based on a first plurality of interactions with first content of a playlist. A first metric indicates approval of a first content item of the playlist and a second metric indicates a first duration of playback of a second content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the second content item is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric and the second metric and receiving a modified playlist. The modified playlist may be the playlist modified based on at least the first metric. The method further includes identifying, in captured data associated with access to the modified playlist, a second plurality of interactions with second content of the modified playlist. The second plurality of interactions corresponds to fewer deviations than the first plurality of interactions.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing playlist analytics. A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The playlist is associated with a default playback sequence of the content items. A first metric indicates a last content item played by a user from the playlist is different from a last content item in the default playback sequence associated with of the playlist. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric. The playlist is to be modified based on one or more of the plurality of metrics.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for dynamically generating indicators of entity locations on an electronic map corresponding, for example, to a suggested search request. In one aspect, a method includes providing an electronic map of a geographic area for display on a user interface, receiving a character string entered into the user interface, the character string representing a partial search query, determining a suggested search request based on the character string, and identifying an entity responsive to the suggested search request and a geographic location for the identified entity. An indicator identifying the geographic location of the entity is provided for display on the electronic map.

Indicators for entities corresponding to search suggestions

Systems and methods can facilitate gathering information generated by network traffic to playlists. Based on analytics and metrics derived from the gathered information and reported, feedback about playlist access patterns can be supplied to interested parties, such as playlist creators/curators. The feedback can enable playlist curators to better tailor playlist content and sequence, potentially reducing a perceived need to skip around inside a playlist and making for a more enjoyable experience for playlist users.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing playlist analytics. A method may include capturing data associated with access to a playlist of content. The method may further include identifying, in the captured data, one or more interactions with the playlist of content. The method may further include generating, by a processing device, at least one metric based on the identified one or more user interactions. The method may further include reporting the at least one playlist metric.

Provided are system and methods for identifying first and second geographic locations, and providing for display of a geographic map including: a first geographic map of a first geographic area including the first geographic location, and a first indicator including a second geographic map of a second geographic area including the second geographic location, wherein the second geographic map is displayed as an overlay on the first geographic map in a position that indicates a direction to the second geographic location.

Indicators for off-screen content

Systems and techniques for generating analytic data for media content based on subject matter are presented. At least one topic is assigned to a media file in a set of media content. Analytic data is generated for the media file in the set of media content. Additionally, the analytic data is associated with the at least one topic.

Performance reporting for media content by subject

Methods and systems for location correction are provided. In one exemplary method, a first routing identifier of a first location associated with a location correction may be identified. The first location and the first routing identifier may be stored. A second routing identifier associated with a location request may be identified. A second location based at least in part on a comparison of the first routing number and the second routing number may be predicted. Finally, the location request may be responded to with the second location.

Location correction

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for displaying an indication of off-screen content. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of providing an electronic map of a first geographic area that includes a first entity at a first geographic location for display on a user interface and receiving user input indicating an interest in a second entity at a second geographic location that is outside of the first geographic area. An electronic map of a second geographic area that includes the second geographic location of the second entity is provided, and a first indicator, indicating at least an approximate direction to the first geographic location, is provided for display on the electronic map of the second geographic area.
