Abstract: A computing device may associate data with a baseline content object. The data may be associated with a triggering-condition. The triggering condition may also be specified in the data. Upon a determination that the triggering-condition has occurred, the baseline content object may be modified as identified in the data. For example, the data may indicate to impose an image on another at a specific location, e.g., to place sunglasses on a picture of a user, when the user is “away.” Content objects may also include audio, video, and other content types. Triggering conditions may be based at least in part on user status, user preferences, news events, or any other user-based and/or external factor. The baseline content object or the modified version of the baseline content object may be communicated to one or more devices.
