Moreover, the menu structure is dynamically tailored to individual users based on their previous interactions with the people appearing in the images/albums. The menu includes icons representing images (e.g., photos) or collections of images that have been categorized based in part on metadata respectively associated with the images. The metadata may have been provided by tagging the images or posting the images on one or more social networking sites. The order in which the icons are presented on the menu or interface may be based on their relative relevance or importance to the user.
