  • In the case of Open Graph, the task is to weed through the mountains of data streaming from outside operations and serve up only the stuff that’s most relevant. The system works in two stages. First, it seeks to determine how interesting a certain type data would be to Facebook’s audience as a whole. Then, using this global rating as a starting point, it tries to determine how important the data is to you in particular.

     

    “One problem is understanding globally how people interact with this content

  • ,” Vernal says. “The secondary problem is trying to understand on a per user basis what is most interesting to them. If you prefer music, we show you more music. If you prefer games, we show you more games.

     

    “Then we merge those two sets of scores together, to influence what Newsfeed shows and what Timeline shows and what some other systems show.”

"It is an ancient human instinct to share our life stories with others, as the paintings and hand prints in stone-age caves show.

And many of our stories are about places. Where we fell in love, had the dream vacation, took that great picture or, well, joined the rebellion. And then there are the many other places that anchor our lives - where we live, eat, work and have fun.

Join the MapSkip community in exploring the world through shared stories, pictures, videos and sound recordings about all the places in our lives. "
