Abstract

A composer interface allows a user to provide input, such as text data, to the social networking system. One or more images may be presented to the user via the composer interface, allowing the user to select one or more images to associate with the input. The images presented to the user may be selected based on associations of images with similar input by social networking system users. For example, images that a threshold number of users have associated with similar input are presented via the composer interface. If the user selects an image to associate with the input, the social networking system presents the selected image along with the received input in a content item presented to other social networking system users.
