Third-party systems outside of a social networking system allow a user of the third-party systems that is also a user of the social networking system to perform an action on the third-party system that are communicated to the social-networking system. Additional actions on the third-party system may be associated with the action. These additional actions are communicated to the social networking system, which identifies the action from the third-party system and associates the additional actions with the identified action. The social networking system may notify the user that performed the action of the additional actions. Also, the social networking system may notify additional social networking system users of the action and of additional actions on the third-party system associated with the action.

Identifying interactions by social networking system users with identified actions performed outside of the social networking system

A social networking service allows a user of the service to create an interest list associated with a topic of interest, where the interest list includes members that may post content via the social networking service. Members of the interest list may post content associated with the topic. Other users of the social network service may subscribe to the list, and these subscribers may then receive a feed that contains the content posted by the members of the interest list.
