Methods and systems for checking bidirectional text in text content, such as in a web page, are provided. A method for checking bidirectional text may include determining intrinsic and declared text directions of text content. The method may also include generating a bidirectional text error based on a mismatch between the intrinsic text direction and the declared text direction. Bidirectional text errors may be reported. A system may include a walker, a bidirectional text checker and a bidirectional error reporter.

The present disclosure comprises systems and methods for providing a stream of only those photographs (including those inter-mixed with videos and hybrid types (animated gifs, animated photo bursts, etc.)) that may be of interest to particular users in a social network based on consideration of user social graphs and other external signals generated for the photographs based on predefined criteria to determine user interest levels. The systems and methods obtain photographs, retrieve social graphs for particular users, evaluate and filter photographs, rank them, and limit the number of photographs provided for viewing from a single source. Accordingly, only photographs that are determined to be most interesting to particular users are provided for display to them.
