Abstract
Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or 'modules' for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Examples of modules include modules for sharing articles, videos, or pictures (e.g., from a social networking service associated with the messaging service). Content recommendations may be provided, and a user may provide a list of users with whom they would like to share the content. The content recommendations may be retrieved from a social network based on consumption information, or may come from multiple different locations. Content may be ranked based on recency, likelihood of user enjoyment, an amount time spent watching the content, etc. A group of recommended recipients may be provided, for example based on the users considered to be most likely to enjoy the content.
