Abstract: When information about an image forming apparatus is registered in a print service environment, to perform reservation printing, a relay virtual printer determines whether a print job acquired from a print service is reserved, and reserves a print job as a reservation print target after a user selects a bookmarklet and issues an instruction to perform the reservation printing.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for including news stories in radio shows and, more generally, for including content in online publications. For example, a user may submit content (such as a news story displayed in a web page) for possible inclusion in a radio talk show by performing a single action (such as clicking on a bookmarklet). Multiple users may submit multiple units of content for possible inclusion in the show in this way. Each user may review stories submitted by all users. If a user considers particular content to worthy of further consideration, he or she may flag (“prep”) that content for further consideration. The user may review the content that he or she has “prepped,” and flag (“mint”) individual units of content for inclusion in the radio show. Minted content is added automatically to a web page associated with the user and/or show.

Abstract: A content sharing platform for sharing a web browser session between users in a social group is disclosed. The content sharing platform enables users of mobile devices to share a reference to the social group between users in the social group. A web sharing session is initiated by running a bookmarklet on a web page accessed by a primary user in the social group. Content from the web page and an action of the primary user on the web page are encoded into an image. The encoded image is associated with the reference to the social group and presented on a web page to one or more secondary users in the social group.
