Techniques for generation and management of pools for events are presented. Pool management component (PMC) generates an event associated with a recipient. Within a period of time of the event, PMC generates a pool relating to the event. Based on contact user data, transaction data relating to transactions or interactions between recipient and merchants, and affinities of the recipient to contact users or merchants, PMC determines which users to invite as candidates to contribute monetary funds to the pool and which merchants to be candidates to the pool and to present offers for products. Notification component notifies candidates of their invitation to participate in the pool. Pool component receives contributions from user candidates and offers from merchant candidates. At time of the event, notification component notifies recipient of the gift being presented to recipient via the pool, the gift comprising money, a product, or offer for a product.

Multi-computing device network based cross-device conversion determination is described. A content selection computer server can identify cross-device conversions. A first computing device accesses third-party content via a first computer network connection. A second computing device accesses a webpage of the third-party content provider via a second computer network connection. The first and devices can be logged into a same online account. The content selection computer server can obtain, via a content tag that includes a script that executes on a webpage that includes the third-party content, data indicating that the first computing device accessed the third-party content. The selection computer server determines the conversion from the content tag and the second computing device having accessed the webpage. Based on a percentage of first and second sets of computing devices that have logged into common respective online accounts, the content selection computer server extrapolates an estimated number of cross-device conversions.

Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for blending custom terrain patches onto a terrain of a virtual three-dimensional environment. A method includes accessing terrain data that describes a mesh representing the surface of the terrain of the three-dimensional environment. The mesh is constructed of primitives that are defined by a terrain altitude at each vertex. A surface grid is determined from the primitives such that each point in the surface grid includes the terrain altitude where the point falls on the mesh. Custom terrain data is also accessed that includes a custom grid of terrain altitudes. A patch grid is determined from the custom grid such that each point in the patch grid includes a terrain altitude derived from the custom grid. The patch and surface grids are blended such that each terrain altitude in the patch grid modifies its corresponding terrain altitude in the surface grid.
