Abstract
A computer system may send and/or receive text messages. The text messages may contain an indication of a networked post. The computer system may display one or more interface elements for transmitting an indication of response to a networked post in a text message. Computer representations of an indication of response may be displayed with a networked post.
Claims20
A method for displaying dynamic content from a networked post in a text message, the method performed by a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving a text message, the text message displaying dynamic content from a networked post, wherein the networked post is accessible on a network at a network location;
- wherein the networked post includes a photo or video, and the photo or video is displayed in the text message;
- displaying the text message to a user;
- initiating a call to a first server-side script to retrieve the number of likes that the networked post has received, a client-side handler function being associated with the first server-side script;
- after completion of the first server-side script, executing the client-side handler function to process a return value of the first server-side script and cause the display of the number of likes that the networked post has received;
- displaying a like button for liking the networked post;
- in response to activation of the like button, transmitting an indication of the user liking the networked post to a server to cause a representation of the user's act of liking the networked post to be displayed with the networked post;
- wherein the act of transmitting the indication of the user liking the networked post to the server comprises initiating a call to a second server-side script to cause the indication of the user liking the networked post to be stored in a database accessible to the server;
- displaying one or more comments from one or more other users about the networked post in a comment section associated with the text message;
- displaying a comment field for accepting a comment from the user;
- in response to the user submitting a comment via the comment field, initiating a call to a third server-side script to cause text of the user-submitted comment to be stored in the database accessible to the server;
- in response to submission of a new comment by the user or another user, dynamically updating the display of comments associated with the text message to include the new comment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for displaying dynamic content from a networked post in a text message, the instructions for execution by a computer system, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
- instructions for receiving a text message, the text message containing dynamic content from a networked post, wherein the networked post is accessible on a network at a network location;
- wherein the networked post includes a photo or video, and the photo or video is displayed in the text message;
- instructions for displaying the text message to a user;
- instructions for initiating a call to a first server-side script to retrieve the number of likes that the networked post has received;
- instructions for, after completion of the first server-side script, executing a client-side handler function associated with the first server-side script to process a return value of the first server-side script and cause the display of the number of likes that the networked post has received;
- instructions for displaying a like button for liking the networked post;
- instructions for, in response to activation of the like button, transmitting an indication of the user liking the networked post to a server to cause a representation of the user's act of liking the networked post to be displayed with the networked post;
- wherein the instructions for transmitting the indication of the user liking the networked post to the server comprise instructions for initiating a call to a second server-side script to cause the indication of the user liking the networked post to be stored in a database accessible to the server;
- instructions for displaying one or more comments from one or more other users about the networked post in a comment section associated with the text message;
- instructions for displaying a comment field for accepting a comment from the user;
- instructions for, in response to the user submitting a comment via the comment field, initiating a call to a third server-side script to cause text of the user-submitted comment to be stored in the database accessible to the server;
- instructions for, in response to submission of a new comment by the user or another user, dynamically updating the display of comments associated with the text message to include the new comment.
