Electronic notifications of users concurrently interacting with the same feed item of a social network feed

A method for using a database system to notify a user that other users of a social networking system are interacting with a feed item of a feed of the social networking system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first user system of a first user, first interaction data generated at the first user system, the first interaction data indicating that the first user has begun composing a first response to a first feed item of the feed of the social networking system using a first user interface on a first display device of the first user system;
• determining, using the database system, that a second user using a second user system has begun composing a second response to the first feed item;
• determining, using the database system, that the second user has not yet shared on the feed the second response being composed;
• and
• causing, responsive to the determinations, display of a notification in the first user interface on the first display device of the first user system, the notification comprising notification data comprising:
• an identification of the second user,
• a user-selectable link to a social network profile maintained in the social networking system for the second user, and
• an indication that the second user is composing the second response to the first feed item concurrent with the first user composing the first response to the first feed item.

A system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing database system software for notifying a user that other users of a social networking system are interacting with a feed item of a feed of the social networking system, the database system software configurable to cause:
• processing first interaction data received from a first user system of a first user, the first interaction data indicating that the first user has begun composing a first response to a first feed item of the feed of the social networking system using a first user interface on a first display device of the first user system,
• determining that a second user using a second user system has begun composing a second response to the first feed item,
• determining that the second user has not yet shared on the feed the second response being composed, and
• displaying, responsive to the determinations, a notification in the first user interface on the first display device of the first user system, the notification comprising notification data comprising:
• an identification of the second user,
• a user-selectable link to a social network profile maintained in the social networking system for the second user, and
• an indication that the second user is composing the second response to the first feed item concurrent with the first user composing the first response to the first feed item.
