A live streaming service and on-demand streaming service are provided to live stream content from the live streaming service into an on-demand content application associated with the on-demand streaming service. Content producers may produce or otherwise be associated with pre-generated content (e.g., pre-recorded audio, video, etc.) that is available to content consumers on demand, through the on-demand content application. The content producers may also produce live content (e.g., live audio, video, etc.) that is available to content consumers in substantially real time as the live content is being generated, through a live content application associated with a live streaming service. The cross-service linking of content producer accounts facilitates integration of content from the live streaming service into the on-demand content application, including presentation of live content from the live streaming service in a live content application-managed window within an interface of the on-demand content application.

Embedded streaming content management

Techniques are provided for sharing item information from a user interface. In some examples, a computing device may present a user interface for displaying an item. The computing device may also receive a first indication that a screen capture option has been selected. In response to receiving the first indication, an item-sharing menu may be presented. Data related to the item may be transmitted based at least in part on a selection made at the item-sharing menu. In some embodiments, receiving the indication that the screen capture option has been selected can cause the computing device to perform a variety of operations (e.g., adding an item to a wish list and/or play list, saving an album cover image, generating a social media post for sharing item data, and the like).

Techniques for sharing item information from a user interface

A platform for customized rendering of markup language (ML) documents into a document in a device specific language that is subsequently provided for display by a target remote device. A rendering context for the target remote device and an ML document is received by the platform, which performs processes that can paginate and fully render pages that are subsequently delivered for display by the target remote device. A post-rendering process may also be provided to perform additional processing of media items for the device specific language document. This additional processing may include including links to or embedding media items in pages of the device specific language document. The remote device can be arranged as a client device that provides for wired and/or wireless communication over a network.

Platform for rendering content for a remote device

A network device, system, and method are directed towards a mobile device catalog that contains capability information about a variety of mobile devices including, for example, the mobile device type, mobile carrier, and mobile browser. The capability information can be used to tailor content requested by the mobile device.

Mobile device catalog registration based on user agents and customer snapshots of capabilities

A network device, system, and method are directed towards enabling a determination for page size tailoring of content based, in part, on estimating of effects of processes applicable to preparing the content for use on a specified mobile device. Before performing the processes on the content, an estimation of the effects of the configuring processes may be determined. If the estimated content size is determined to be too large for the specified mobile device's memory footprint, page tailoring techniques may be applied to the content. Such page tailoring techniques may include stretching the content across a plurality of files, discarding a portion of the content, reducing portions of the content, or the like. Various processes may then be applied to the content to configure it for use on the specified mobile device.

Managing page sizes for a mobile device using estimation of content customizer techniques

A method and apparatus tracks and blocks content requested by a first remote device for forwarding over a network to a second remote device. For a given content item, one or more usage identities are tracked. Usage identities may include any combination of one or more of a source identity, a content identity, and/or a destination identity. One or more thresholds associated with the tracked usage identities are applied to determine whether a request to forward content should be blocked; a threshold is a limit on the number of times a content item having a particular usage identity may be forwarded within a time period. Misuse of content-forwarding messaging services by spammers and the like may thereby be discouraged. In one embodiment, the invention may be employed as part of a content clipping service for forwarding content to mobile devices by way of SMS or another mobile messaging technology.

Tracking and blocking of spam directed to clipping services

A shortened identifier, such as a shortened URL, is used to access data, a service, and/or another resource that is associated with a full identifier, such as a full URL. In an exemplary embodiment, a hash key is generated from the full URL and included with a domain identifier to form a shortened URL. Other codes can also be included in the shortened URL. The shortened URL can be included in a message, page, and/or other data element that is generally too small for the full URL. When received from a client, a property code, a user ID, and/or other data is used to locate one or more full URLs. A selected hash function is applied to the full URLs to generate a table of hash keys. If a match exists with the hash key from the shortened URL, the resource is accessed at the corresponding full URL.
