Abstract: A messaging server system receives a message creation input from a first client device that is associated with a first user registered with the messaging server system. The messaging server system determines, based on an entity graph representing connections between a plurality of users registered with the messaging server system, that the first user is within a threshold degree of connection with a second that initiated a group story in relation to a specified event. The messaging server system determines, based on location data received from the first client device, that the first client device was located within a geo-fence surrounding a geographic location of the specified event during a predetermined event window, the geo-fence and event window having been designated by the second user, and causes the first client device to present a user interface element, that enables the first user to submit content to the group story.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, instructions, and methods for computer based automated content generation, curation, and presentation are described. In one embodiment a content collection is generated with a first continuous presentation group by associating a first content element from a first content message of the plurality of content messages and a second content element from a second content message of the plurality of content messages to associate the first content element and the second content element as the first continuous presentation group. Advertising element placement within the presentation order for the first media collection is determined, and adjusted to avoid interrupting the continuous presentation group. In other embodiments, various advertising patterns are used and adjusted based on curated presentation groups within content collections.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to generation of media collections in a messaging system. The media collection may be created by the user, other users, or an entity. Example embodiments further allow users to set access criteria through privacy settings assigned to one or more media content items themselves, as well as to a media collection, such that some or all of the media collection may only be viewed by users authorized by the user sharing the media content item or media collection (e.g., only to one or more users designated by the user as a “friend”).

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, instructions, and methods are provided for presentation of media collections with automated interactive advertising. In one embodiment, a server system merges advertising data with interaction elements to create an advertising element, and communicates the advertising element to a client device with other pieces of content. In another embodiment, advertising data is received at a client device and merged at the client device with interaction elements to generate an advertising element. The advertising element is then displayed between content elements that are part of one or more content collections. In various embodiments, interaction data recorded at the device is used to manage the presentation of future advertising elements.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, instructions, and methods are provided for presentation of media collections with automated interactive advertising. In one embodiment, a client device receives content elements for display as part of a content collection. Advertising data is also received for display between selected content elements. Interaction elements are merged with the create an advertising element. During display of the advertising data, the interaction elements are presented on the client device output, and are controllable via user inputs. In various embodiments, interaction data recorded at the device is used to manage the presentation of future advertising data.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for graphically representing content viewers, within a user interface, from social networking interrelations between viewers and producers. The systems and methods receive an indication of a positive connection state for a first member and a second member. The positive connection state is validated by identifying a server link between the first member and the second member. In response to validating the positive connection state, an identification for the first member is transmitted to a second client device associated with the second member. A selection is received for a selection of a user interface presented on the second device. In response to receiving the selection from the second device, the identification of the first member is presented within the user interface on the second device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating and displaying collections of images according to a user-selected queue are described. In some example embodiments, a system aggregates content items organized into collections for display to a user on a device. The system receives a selection from the user of a desired order of collection display, based on the user selecting queue request elements associated with the content collections. In response to receiving a playlist request from the user, the system causes display of the content collections in the order selected by the user. In some example embodiments, the system automatically queues one or more pieces of autoforward content to automatically play after the completion of the queued content.
