Abstract:
A social networking system provides a user with a feed of content items associated with other users connected to the user via the social networking system. Additionally, the social networking system identifies additional content items for presentation to the user and generates an additional feed including the additional content items. The additional content items may be determined by identifying content items having various characteristics and scoring the content items based on the characteristics. Content items having at least a threshold score are identified as additional content items. Examples of characteristics of content items include users providing content items to the social networking system, locations associated with social networking system users, and interaction with content items by social networking system users. In some embodiments, the additional feed modifies presentation of the additional content items based on their associated scores.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can capture media content including an original set of frames. A selection of a time-lapse amount can be received. A subset of frames from the original set of frames can be identified based on the time-lapse amount. An orientation-based image stabilization process can be applied to the subset of frames to produce a stabilized subset of frames. A stabilized time-lapse media content item can be provided based on the stabilized subset of frames.
Abstract:
Particular embodiments provide a plurality of image elements arranged in a display layout. When user input selecting one of the image elements is received, a first animation sequence for an information panel associated with the selected image element may be displayed, wherein the information panel swings down from a bottom edge of the selected image element. As the information swings down, the selected image element may also be enlarged until it reaches a pre-determined size with respect to a display of the computing device. In response to receiving user input dismissing the selected image element, another animation sequence may shrink the selected image element while showing the information panel swinging up and eventually disappearing.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate a set of candidate content items from a plurality of content items that are available in the social networking system, wherein one or more of the candidate content items are to be included in a personalized content stream for a first user. A corresponding score for each of the candidate content items can be generated with respect to the first user. A first set of content items can be determined from the set of candidate content items based at least in part on the respective scores, wherein content items in the first set are included in the personalized content stream.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can project data describing a set of media items from which a representative media item is to be determined. A medoid can be determined from the projected data. A media item corresponding to the medoid can be selected as the representative media item of the set of media items.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate a set of candidate content items from a plurality of content items that are available in the social networking system for a first user. A corresponding score for each of the candidate content items can be generated based at least in part on one or more social affinity coefficients corresponding to the first user and a respective second user associated with a candidate content item, wherein a social affinity coefficient provides a quantitative measurement of the strength of a relationship between two users. A first set of content items from the set of candidate content items can be determined based at least in part on the respective scores, wherein content items in the first set are included in a content feed provided to the first user.

Abstract:
A social networking system user identifies one or more social networking system users authorized to present content items to the user via the social networking system (“authorized users”). When an additional user requests presentation of a content item to the user, the social networking system determines if the additional user is an authorized user. If the additional user is an authorized user, the content item is presented to the user. However, if the additional user is not an authorized user, the social networking system identifies the additional user to the user along with a request to identify the additional user as an authorized user. If the user identifies the additional user as an authorized user in response to the request, the content item is presented to the user.
Abstract:
A social networking system identifies one or more additional users to be presented with a content item to a user presenting the content item (“sending user”). Information maintained by the social networking system and describing prior interaction between the sending user and various additional users is retrieved. Based on the prior interaction between the sending user and the additional users, one or more additional users are identified to the sending user as potential recipients for the content item. For example, a frequency of interaction between the user and additional users, affinity between the user and various additional users, or other suitable information is used to identify potential recipients of the content item.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can present landscape content through a display screen of the computing device, the landscape content being presented in a landscape viewing mode. A rotation of the display screen to transition to a portrait viewing mode can be determined. The landscape content can be scaled based on the rotation of the display screen, wherein the scaled landscape content is presented through the display screen.
