• send an identified option for each of the plurality of descriptors to the device for presentation in the post interface according to the priority order;
• receive, via the post interface, a first user selection of one of the plurality of descriptors;
• receive, via the post interface, a second user selection of an icon for the one of the plurality of descriptors, wherein the second user selection causes a next successive option in the plurality of options for the one of the plurality of descriptors to be displayed;
• and
• generate a post to the social network, wherein the generated post is populated with the identified option for the plurality of descriptors corresponding to the user selection.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• provide, by a processor of a user device, a post interface in a graphical user interface (GUI) on the user device, wherein the post interface facilitates generation of posts to a social network;
• transmit a reference to an internet resource to a server device, wherein the reference to the internet resource is a uniform resource locator (URL) provided in the post interface;
• receive, by the processor, a plurality of descriptors for presentation in the post interface and a priority order for the plurality of descriptors, wherein the plurality of descriptors are indicative of content within the internet resource, wherein each of the plurality of descriptors comprises a plurality of options that are associated with the priority order, wherein each of the plurality of options has an associated popularity metric, and wherein the plurality of options are identified in accordance with associated popularity metrics;
• receive an identified option for each of the plurality of descriptors;
• present the plurality of descriptors and the identified option for each of the plurality of descriptors according to the priority order in the post interface;
• transmit, to the server device, a first user selection of one of the plurality of descriptors, the selection received via the post interface;
• transmit, to the server device, a second user selection of an icon for the one of the plurality of descriptors, wherein the second user selection causes a next successive option in the plurality of options for the one of the plurality of descriptors to be displayed;
• receive, by the processor, a post to the social network, the post generated based on the identified option for the plurality of descriptors corresponding to the user selection;
