Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for identifying supply. An example for identifying merchants for fulfilling demand comprises receiving one or more virtual offers and an associated quantity of at least a portion of the one or more virtual offers, wherein the one or more virtual offers are representative of a residual demand for a geographic area, assigning a virtual offer of the one or more of the virtual offers to one or more merchants in an instance in which a supply source of the one or more merchants is identified as able to supply at least a portion of the associated quantity of the virtual offer, and determining a priority score for the one or more merchants, wherein the one or more merchants are rankable based on the priority score.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing location-based information and functionality to people and computing devices in various ways. In at least some situations, the techniques include enabling multiple people in a common geographic area to interact in various ways, such as via devices capable of communications (e.g., cellular telephones, computing devices with wired and/or wireless communications capabilities, etc.), while in other situations at least some users who are remote from a particular geographic area may be allowed to intercommunicate with one or more other users or other entities in or related to that geographic area. In addition, the techniques include enabling the creation and maintenance of location-based virtual groups of users (also referred to as “clouds”), such as for users of mobile and/or fixed-location devices. Such clouds may enable various types of interactions between group members, and may be temporary and/or mobile.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for classifying user search data. An example method comprises accessing user search data, the user search data generated by a user interacting with a promotion and marketing service to identify a requested promotion, determining, using a processor, a first classification of the user search data by parsing the user search data into one or more terms, applying one or more terms within the user search data to a search index, wherein the first classification is configured to generate a mapping from the one or more terms within the user search data to at least one of a service or merchant, determining, using the processor, a second classification of the user search data, wherein the second classification identifies a requested redemption location for the requested promotion and generating an identification pair for the search data that is representative of a promotion tuple, the identification pair comprising the first classification and the second classification.
