Abstract
Techniques for providing social network maps are described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first user account associated with the social networking system, a text input associated with a multi-author story. In some examples, the social networking system then selects a feed post associated with the multi-author story previously shared by a second user account associated with the social networking system. The social networking system then generates an interactive map which comprises a visual representation of the feed post, and provides the interactive map comprising the visual representation to the first user account.

A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user account associated with a social networking system, a text input associated with a multi-author story as received text input, the multi-author story including content having a common feature;
- selecting, as a selected feed post, a feed post associated with the multi-author story previously shared by a second user account;
- generating an interactive map comprising the selected feed post;
- and
- providing the interactive map comprising a visual representation of the selected feed post to the first user account.
One or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
- determining that a first user account associated with a social networking system follows a second user account on the social networking system, the multi-author story including content having a common feature;
- selecting, as a selected feed post, a feed post associated with a multi-author story previously shared by the second user account;
- generating an interactive map comprising a visual representation of the selected feed post as a generated interactive map;
- and
- providing the generated interactive map comprising the visual representation of the selected feed post to the first user account.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first user account associated with a social networking system, a text input associated with a multi-author story as received text input, the multi-author story including content having a common feature;
- selecting, as a selected feed post, a feed post associated with the multi-author story previously shared by a second user account;
