Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a content object for display based at least in part on one or more filtering criteria. The filtering criteria is a measure of suitability of each content object for presentation based at least in part on social-graph information between a first user and one or more second users or a current geo-location of the first user. The method also includes applying the filtering criteria to the content object; and providing for display on a user interface (UI) the content object based on whether the content object is suitable for presentation based at least in part on the filtering criteria.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by a computing device, identifying a content object for display based at least in part on one or more criteria, the criteria being based at least in part on social-graph information between a first user and one or more second users or a current geo-location of the first user;
- by the computing device, applying the criteria to the content object;
- and
- by the computing device, providing for display on a user interface (UI) the content object based on at least in part on the criteria.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software configured when executed to:
- identify a content object for display based at least in part on one or more criteria, the criteria being based at least in part on social-graph information between a first user and one or more second users or a current geo-location of the first user;
- apply the criteria to the content object;
- and
- provide for display on a user interface (UI) the content object based on at least in part on the criteria.
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the processor and embodying software that:
- identify a content object for display based at least in part on one or more criteria, the criteria being based at least in part on social-graph information between a first user and one or more second users or a current geo-location of the first user;
- apply the criteria to the content object;
- and
- provide for display on a user interface (UI) the content object based on at least in part on the criteria.
