In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a registration request from an application running on a client system. The registration request includes a messaging token associated with a message-distribution server. In response to the received registration request, the messaging token is registered to a user profile on a social-networking system. A push notification is generated for display at the client system. The push notification and the messaging token are sent to the message-distribution server, where the messaging token identifies the client system to the message-distribution server for delivery of the push notification.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a post associated with a first user of an online social network; extracting n-grams from the post; determining whether the post is associated with a trending topic based on whether one or more of the extracted n-grams are associated with the trending topic; identifying one or more second users, wherein each second user is a first-degree connection of the first user within the online social network and wherein each second user is a subscribing user; generating, for each second user, a live social module comprising the post; and sending, to a system of each second user, the live social module.
