Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system stores a set of feed updates associated with a set of entities in descending chronological order within a set of resizable blocks. For each entity in the set of entities, the system generates an index containing one or more lists of resizable blocks storing a subset of the feed updates associated with the entity, wherein the one or more lists are sorted in descending chronological order. The system then uses the index to generate a content feed containing a selection of the feed updates for outputting to a viewer.
