Persistent feeder component for displaying feed items received from information feeds of online social networks

One or more computing devices for providing a persistent feeder component in a user interface to display in near real-time feed items when received in information feeds of online social networks, the one or more computing devices comprising:

• one or more processors operable to execute one or more instructions to:
• receive, from a computing device associated with a first user of a first online social network, a request for feed items of one or more of the information feeds, the information feeds including a first information feed associated with the first online social network and a second information feed associated with a second online social network;
• identify one or more of the feed items as having one or more attributes satisfying one or more parameters;
• and
• transmit data to the computing device to display in the feeder component in the user interface the identified one or more feed items, the feeder component being configured to persist in the user interface when the user interface changes from a first state in which a first page is displayed to a second state in which a second page is displayed.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a server to perform a method for providing a persistent feeder component in a user interface to display in near real-time feed items when received in information feeds of online social networks, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a computing device associated with a first user of a first online social network, a request for feed items of one or more of the information feeds, the information feeds including a first information feed associated with the first online social network and a second information feed associated with a second online social network;
• identifying one or more of the feed items as having one or more attributes satisfying one or more parameters;
• and
• transmitting data to the computing device to display in the feeder component in the user interface the identified one or more feed items, the feeder component being configured to persist in the user interface when the user interface changes from a first state in which a first page is displayed to a second state in which a second page is displayed.
