US 2014/0208233 A1 · USER INTERFACE FOR BOOKMARKS IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM

Abstract

A bookmark displays one or more bookmark tiles each linked to an object in a social networking system, allowing faster and easier access to the linked objects. The bookmark tiles are arranged in a tile region displayed proximate to a page of content from the social networking system. For example, the tile region is a horizontal row proximate to the page content. The tile region may be accessed by performing a scrolling input when the page is displayed by a client device. The bookmark tiles may be navigated using a search region for receiving input to search the bookmark tiles. The search region may be accessible by performing a second scrolling input while the client device displays the page.
