Abstract
Systems and methods for integrating online games with online feeds are described.

- and
- a posting module that is configured to cause the generated one or more feed items to be posted at the selected one or more feeds.
A computer-readable storage medium whose contents, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving an indication of an action performed within an online game that is associated with a player of the online game;
- selecting two or more feeds at which to post a feed item associated with the action performed within the online game;
