Abstract
Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for tagging objects in an online social network. One or more information updates having one or more attributes can be identified. The identified one or more information updates can be associated with one or more tags based on the one or more attributes. Each identified information update can be stored with metadata indicating respective tag associations such that information updates are capable of being sorted and displayed on a display device. In some implementations, data indicating information update sorting based on tag associations can be generated and provided to a display device to display information updates sorted as indicated by the generated data.
Claims30
A computer implemented method for tagging information updates in a feed of an online social network, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing device, one or more information updates having one or more attributes;
- associating, by the computing device, the identified one or more information updates with one or more tags based on the one or more attributes;
- and
- storing each identified information update with metadata indicating respective tag associations on or more storage mediums, such that information updates are capable of being sorted and displayed in a user interface on a display device according to the tag associations.
A computer implemented method for tagging and sorting information updates in a feed of an online social network, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing device, one or more information updates having one or more attributes;
- associating, by the computing device, the identified one or more information updates with one or more tags based on the one or more attributes;
- storing the identified one or more information updates and one or more tag associations on or more storage mediums;
- sorting information updates based on the stored one or more tag associations;
- generating data indicating the information update sorting;
- and
- providing the generated data to a display device configured to display a presentation of the feed in a user interface, the presentation including the information updates sorted as indicated by the generated data.
One or more computing devices for tagging information updates in a feed of an online social network, the one or more computing devices comprising:
- one or more processors operable to execute one or more instructions to:
- identify, by a computing device, one or more information updates having one or more attributes;
- associate, by the computing device, the identified one or more information updates with one or more tags based on the one or more attributes;
- and
- store each identified information update with metadata indicating respective tag associations on or more storage mediums, such that information updates are capable of being sorted and displayed in a user interface on a display device according to the tag associations.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a computing device to perform a method for tagging information updates in a feed of an online social network, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a computing device, one or more information updates having one or more attributes;
- associating, by the computing device, the identified one or more information updates with one or more tags based on the one or more attributes;
- and
- storing each identified information update with metadata indicating respective tag associations on or more storage mediums, such that information updates are capable of being sorted and displayed in a user interface on a display device according to the tag associations.
