Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards providing dynamic and interactive avatars of social networking members for use in visually displaying interactions and activities within a messaging context. A user interface is provided that enables relationships toy be displayed within a messaging context through automatic and/or dynamic grouping and/or re-arranging of avatars representing the member and a messaging user. Similar to, albeit it different from, an actual social event/party the dynamic displaying of members' avatars reflects how groups of people may interact. Thus, the disclosed embodiments provide a dynamic visual interface illustrating social congregation and interactions between members of a messaging social network.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods and user interfaces for easily navigating through hierarchically related content, such as web pages in a hierarchical website. For each page of content, a navigation element is provided that displays to the viewer of the page information about one or more pages that are hierarchically below the currently displayed page and information about what page or pages are hierarchically above the currently displayed page. The navigation element includes a top-level tabbed bar that exposes the hierarchical path from the homepage to the displayed page. Furthermore, as the user navigates through the website, the top-level bar forms a “crumb” or path describing the user's location within the hierarchy of web pages.
