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.

Systems and methods for setting up live online conversations between people, and selecting participants for such conversations in a manner that optimizes the enjoyment of the participants. Conversations are analyzed and attributes of participants and conversations are extracted from the audio of the conversations. A quality level of the conversations is determined from the audio, and subjective quality assessments may be received from participants. Participants and conversations are divided into classes and clusters, where the classes and clusters represent groups of entities which have certain attributes in common. Based on the attributes, classes, clusters, and quality levels, compatibilities are determined between arbitrary pairs of participants and for arbitrary groups of participants. Conversations are generated, and participants are selected for the conversations based on the determined compatibilities.

Systems and methods for presenting calendar information in electronic messages can include a data processing system receiving a request for calendar information for display in an electronic message responsive to the client device accessing the electronic message. The data processing system can identify, using information in the request, the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message. The data processing system can retrieve the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and the calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message. The data processing system can automatically generate an image depicting the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and the calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message, and send instructions to the client device to cause display of the image within the electronic message accessed by the client device.

A system and method for postponing an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. Postponement options are displayed for the user. Display of the electronic message at the computing device is inhibited based on received user input. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the electronic message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.

Methods and systems are provided for processing a stream of incoming messages sent from a specific input message source and validating each incoming message of that stream before sending them to a specific target system.

A message right management method, and a device and storage medium for implementing the method, are provided. The message right management method includes obtaining a message created by a source user, and sending a message notification to a target user in a social platform. The method further includes verifying the target user when receiving a request for logging onto a message page from the target user, and controlling logon of the target user to the message page on the basis of a verification result. The method further includes, when receiving a service request of the target user with respect to the message, determining, based on a message right control policy, whether the target user has a right corresponding to a service requested by the service request, and controlling a response to the service request according to a determining result.
