Abstract:
Techniques for context sensitive illustrated graphical user interface elements, comprising a social networking application. The social networking application may include, among other components, a social networking graphical elements management component to provide a list of recommended graphical element identifier information, in response to a request for the list of recommended graphical element identifier information, a context determination component to determine user context information representative of the at least one user context based at least partially on user communications intent information, user profile information, device location information, calendar event information, and/or external event information, and a graphical elements recommendation component to generate the list of recommended graphical element identifier information based at least partially on the user profile information, graphical elements promotion information, and/or the user context information.
Abstract:
When a user sees a content item presented by a social networking system, the user may select an option to save the content item. The saved content item may be reinserted in a newsfeed presented to the user, integrated into collections, archived, used for notifications to the user, or otherwise subsequently presented to the user. A plug-in may be used to save content items accessed through websites external to the social networking system. As privacy settings associated with a saved content item are modified, the modified privacy settings are applied to the saved content item, which may prevent the user saving the content item from subsequently viewing the saved content item.
Abstract:
A system for providing context sensitive display overlays to a mobile device via a network comprising an overlay datastore, a processor, coupled to the datastore and programmed to receive a request from a mobile device via the network for a list of overlays, determine user context information, search the datastore for overlays matching the user context and provide the list of overlays to the mobile device via the network.

Abstract:
A social networking system generates stories based on actions taken by entities of the social networking system. The system applies a set of rules to the stories to categorize each story and displays the news feed as multiple sections, each displaying a category of generated stories. A story may be categorized according to its content and/or the user associated with the story. In addition to stories about a user's direct connections, stories may be generated by the user's soft connections. Supplemental content may be generated based on a section of the newsfeed currently being accessed and displayed in a related content unit adjacent to a news feed section.

Abstract:
A social networking system aggregates two or more stories having at least one common characteristic to create an aggregated story unit. Each story describes an action performed on an object over the social networking system or external to the social networking system. The aggregated story unit includes one or more input elements allowing a viewing user to interact with the aggregate story unit as a whole or with individual stories in the aggregated story unit. The input elements included in the aggregated story unit may be based on the types of the actions or of the objects described by stories in the aggregated story unit and on one or more input policies.

Techniques for context sensitive overlays, comprising a social networking application. The social networking application may include, among other components, a social networking overlay management component to receive a request from a mobile device to determine a list of aggregate overlay information and user context information, and providing the list of aggregate overlay information and user context information to the mobile device, a context determination component to determine the user context information representative of at least one user context based at least partially on user profile information, location information, calendar event information, and/or external event information, and an overlay selection component to generate the list of aggregate overlay information based at least partially on the user profile information, overlay promotion information, and user context information
