Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for inserting or injecting additional object identifiers into a currently presented feed or presentation of object identifiers. For example, a user of a portable device may view a feed or set of object identifiers, such as images of objects, that is presented on the display of the portable device. As the user views the object identifiers, the user may interact with one or more of those object identifiers by selecting an interaction control associated with the object identifier to indicate an interest in the object identifier. In response to the interaction, rather than presenting a new set of object identifiers, the described implementations insert or inject additional object identifiers into the current feed or set of object identifiers so that the user can continue to view the current object identifiers as well as the additional object identifiers.
