In some implementations, a method includes providing a grid view in a user interface, where the grid view displays media content items that have been shared in a network. The method also includes providing a gallery view in response to a user selecting a media content item among the media content items in the grid view, where the gallery view displays the selected media content item. The method also includes providing a share menu view in response to the user selecting a re-share button, where the share menu view displays options for sharing the selected media content item. The method also includes providing a comment view, where the comment view enables the user to comment on the selected media content item. The method also includes re-sharing the selected media content item to other users. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: providing a first view in a user interface, wherein the first view displays media content items that have been shared in a network, wherein the media content items comprise first-time shares and re-shares, wherein a first-time share is an original share of a media content item, wherein a re-share is a subsequent share of a media content item, and wherein the network provides a network environment through which users share media content items; providing a gallery view in response to a user selecting a media content item among the media content items in the first view, wherein the gallery view displays the selected media content item; providing a share menu view in response to the user selecting a re-share button, wherein the share menu view displays options for re-sharing the selected media content item; providing a comment view, wherein the comment view enables the user to comment on the selected media content item; providing re-share privacy settings that enable an original poster of a particular media content item to determine which users can re-share the particular media content item and which users can view the particular media content item; and re-sharing the selected media content item to other users. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the media content items comprise one or more of at least one video, at least one broadcast, at least one screenshot, at least one trophy, and at least one event. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the media content items comprise game play data, and wherein the game play data comprises game statistics and game scores. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the re-share button is a physical button. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a confirmation view, wherein the confirmation view confirms to the user that the selected media content item has been successfully re-shared. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising notifying an original poster of a particular media content item that the particular media content item has been re-shared. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a re-share list view, wherein the re-share list view displays a list of one or more users who have re-shared a particular media content item. ### Claim 8 Software encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable media for execution by one or more processors and when executed operable to perform operations comprising: providing a first view in a user interface, wherein the first view displays media content items that have been shared in a network, wherein the media content items comprise first-time shares and re-shares, wherein a first-time share is an original share of a media content item, wherein a re-share is a subsequent share of a media content item, and wherein the network provides a network environment through which users share media content items; providing a gallery view in response to a user selecting a media content item among the media content items in the first view, wherein the gallery view displays the selected media content item; providing a share menu view in response to the user selecting a re-share button, wherein the share menu view displays options for re-sharing the selected media content item; providing a comment view, wherein the comment view enables the user to comment on the selected media content item; providing re-share privacy settings that enable an original poster of a particular media content item to determine which users can re-share the particular media content item and which users can view the particular media content item; and re-sharing the selected media content item to other users. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the media content items comprise one or more of at least one video, at least one broadcast, at least one screenshot, at least one trophy, and at least one event. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the re-share button is displayed in the gallery view. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the re-share button is a physical button. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the software when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising providing a confirmation view, wherein the confirmation view confirms to the user that the selected media content item has been successfully re-shared. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the software when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising notifying an original poster of a particular media content item that the particular media content item has been re-shared. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The software of claim 8, wherein the software when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising providing a re-share list view, wherein the re-share list view displays a list of one or more users who have re-shared a particular media content item. ### Claim 15 A system comprising: one or more processors; and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to perform operations comprising: providing a first view in a user interface, wherein the first view displays media content items that have been shared in a network, wherein the media content items comprise first-time shares and re-shares, wherein a first-time share is an original share of a media content item, wherein a re-share is a subsequent share of a media content item, and wherein the network provides a network environment through which users share media content items; providing a gallery view in response to a user selecting a media content item among the media content items in the first view, wherein the gallery view displays the selected media content item; providing a share menu view in response to the user selecting a re-share button, wherein the share menu view displays options for re-sharing the selected media content item; providing a comment view, wherein the comment view enables the user to comment on the selected media content item; providing re-share privacy settings that enable an original poster of a particular media content item to determine which users can re-share the particular media content item and which users can view the particular media content item;
