Abstract
In one embodiment, a social networking system automatically create a shared space for posting requests to the social networking system from multiple users based on social, spatial and temporal proximity, and create a news feed corresponding to the shared space.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by one or more computing devices, receiving, from each of a plurality of users, a posting request to a social networking system and a location associated with the posting request;
- by the one or more computing devices, assessing social and spatio-temporal proximity between or among a subset of the users based at least in part on the location associated with each of their posting requests;
- by the one or more computing devices, based on the assessment, creating a shared space for the posting requests of the subset of the users that are within a threshold spatio-temporal proximity;
- by the one or more computing devices, composing one or more content items from one or more of the posting requests of the subset of the users;
- and
- by the one or more computing devices, adding the content items to a dynamic list of content items associated with the shared space.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
- receive, from each of a plurality of users, a posting request and a location associated with the posting request to a social networking system;
- assess social and spatio-temporal proximity between or among a subset of the users based at least in part on the location associated with each of their posting requests;
- create a shared space for the posting requests of the subset of the users that are within a threshold spatio-temporal proximity;
- compose one or more content items from one or more of the posting requests of the subset of the users;
- and
- add the content items to a dynamic list of content items associated with the shared space.
6 more elements
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- receive, from each of a plurality of users, a posting request and a location associated with the posting request to a social networking system;
- assess social and spatio-temporal proximity between or among a subset of the users based at least in part on the location associated with each of their posting requests;
- create a shared space for the posting requests of the subset of the users that are within a threshold spatio-temporal proximity;
- compose one or more content items from one or more of the posting requests of the subset of the users;
- and
- add the content items to a dynamic list of content items associated with the shared space.
