Providing content in a timeslot on a client computing device

Abstract:

In particular embodiments, a client computing device identifies an available timeslot for displaying content on a screen. The client computing device notifies one or more applications of the available timeslot and receives from each of one or more applications a bid to fill the available timeslot with content associated with the application. Each bid indicates the application, indicates a format of the content associated with the application, and provides at least a portion of the content associated with the application. The client computing device selects one of the bids and displays in the available timeslot on the screen the content associated with the selected bid with the format indicated by the selected bid.
