A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for rendering an annotatable image within an image viewer. An indication of an intent to annotate the annotatable image is received from a user. A meme generation interface is rendered with respect to the annotatable image. Meme annotation criteria is received from the user via the meme generation interface. The meme annotation criteria includes one or more of: a meme message, a meme position indicator, and a font type identifier. The annotatable image is modified based, at least in part, upon the meme annotation criteria, thus generating an annotated image. The annotated image is published to a meme publication website.

Image annotation process

Implementations generally relate to generating a group photo collection. In some implementations, a method includes determining a plurality of users in a specified group of users of a social network system. The method also includes receiving photos associated with the users. The method also includes providing an interface enabling the plurality of users to collaborate in creating a group photo collection, where the group photo collection includes the plurality of photos. The method also includes providing one or more recommendations to create a photo album based on one or more themes, where the one or more themes are based on patterns of objects recognized in the plurality of photos.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for providing a live stream of event content is provided. In an embodiment, a method may include defining an online collaborative space associated with an event. A plurality of event participants may be associated with the event. Content contributions may be received from one or more of the event participants. An event content update may be transmitted to a client event application based on the received content contributions to provide a live stream of event content.

System and method for event content stream

A system and method is disclosed for informing a user of recent activities in an online social network. A message group in an online activity stream of an online network is identified. The message group includes a first message describing a first activity of an online user of the online network, and multiple second messages responsive to the first message, the second messages being representative of multiple ancillary activities performed in the online network with respect to the first activity. A single notification is generated that includes a first description of the first activity, different than the first message, and a second description of the multiple ancillary activities different than each of the multiple second messages. The single notification is then presented in a notification list with other notifications.

Context and content in notifications

In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication that a first user has interacted with a second user in a social network, calculating a social affinity score between the first user and the second user based on first user information, second user information, or relationship information between the first user and the second user and scheduling delivery of a notification to the recipient based on the social affinity score. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Ranking to determine relevance of social connections

The disclosed subject matter relates to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for ordering notifications for display in a social networking environment. One example system is configured to obtain a set of notifications for a user, wherein each notification in the set of notifications is generated in response to an event in a social network and, for each notification in the set of notifications, determine an event type associated with the notification and calculate a priority score for the notification based on the event type associated with the notification. The system is further configured to display the set of notifications based on the priority score for each notification in the set of notifications.

Methods and systems for annotating an image and publishing the annotated image

A system and method is disclosed for informing a user of recent activities in an online social network. A notification list, displayed in the online social network, includes one or more visual references, with each visual reference displaying at least one line of context information and at least one line of content information. The context information may include a part of a message describing an original activity performed by a user in the online social network, and the content information may include a concise representation of one or more ancillary activities made by other users in response to the original activity.

A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating a slideshow is provided. The method may include generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method may also include allowing access to the event page to one or more members of the social network. The method may further include receiving at least one photograph at the event page from the one or more members of the social network, displaying the at least one photograph at the event page and generating a slideshow based upon, at least in part, the at least one photograph received at the event page.

System and method for creating slideshows

A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method further configured to allow access to the event page to one or more members of the social network and to determine a subset of the one or more members of the social network. The method further configured to provide the subset of the one or more members of the social network with permission to edit the event page and receive real-time updates to the event page from the subset of the one or more members of the social network.
