Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for providing a platform that facilitates communication between a messaging application and a web-based gaming application; receiving, via the platform, a request from the web-based gaming application to execute a reward activity; determining, by the messaging application, that the request satisfies a reward activity criterion; generating the reward activity on the messaging application in response to receiving the request; and communicating, via the platform, a status of the reward activity from the messaging application to the web-based gaming application.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user request from a client system associated with a user, generating a response to the user request which references one or more entities, generating a personalized recommendation based on the user request and the response, wherein the personalized recommendation references one or more of the entities of the response, and sending instructions for presenting the response and the personalized recommendation to the client system.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: displaying, by a messaging application, a sound capture screen that enables a user to record the sound; after the sound is recorded using the sound capture screen, generating, by the messaging application, a visual element associated with the sound; receiving, by the messaging application, selection of the visual element from a displayed list of visual elements representing different sounds; in response to receiving the selection of the visual element, conditionally adding one or more graphics representing the sound to one or more images at a user selected position based on a privacy status of the sound; and playing, by the messaging application, the sound associated with the visual element together with displaying the one or more images.

A computer-implemented method of posting content to a social medium comprises receiving content posted by a user along with an associated posting time which indicates when the user selected an option to post the content to the social medium; determining that publication of the content posted by the user is dependent on a trigger; and in response to determining that publication of the content is dependent on the trigger, storing the content with the associated posting time and suspending publication of the content until the trigger is satisfied such that the posting time published with the content indicates a time prior to transmission of the content from an electronic device to a server for publishing.

Method of dynamically assigning storage locations starts with the processor updating first user's home location data. Processor selects communication session between first user and second user and determines second user's home location data. Processor determines a session location data that indicates current storage location that stores data of communication session received from first and second client devices. Processor identifies available data storage locations based on first user and second user's home location data and determines whether to update the session location data based on an average of a distance over network fiber using the first user and second user's home locations, current storage location, and available storage locations. In response to determining to update the session location data, processor updates session location data to indicate one of the available storage locations, and causes transfer of data of communication session to one of the available storage locations. Other embodiments are described.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to select content to present to a user are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes determining a content consumption rate of the user, and selectively presenting content to the user based on the content consumption rate. The content consumption rate may be determined based on a number of media content presented to the user over a period of time. If the number is above a threshold, a first type of content may be presented, while if the number is below (or equal) to the threshold, a second type of content, or in some aspects, no content, may be presented. After the selective presentation, additional content may be presented regardless of the content consumption rate.

Embodiments include a system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a current trigger during a video game and determining a group of players involved in the current trigger. Further embodiments include recording a trigger clip of game content for each player in the group of players resulting in a group of trigger clips. Each trigger clip of the group of trigger clips is a portion of game content that includes the current trigger from a perspective of each player of the group of players. Additional embodiments include providing the group of trigger clips to a group of gaming devices over a communication network. Each gaming device of the group of gaming devices is associated with one player of the group of players. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
