  • Publication number: 20150134659
    Abstract: A social networking system allows users to create collections including objects associated with products, services, games, videos, books or other similar items. An object is associated with a type and one or more actions are associated with the type to identify actions capable of being performed on the object. When an object is presented to a user, the type of the object is compared to types of objects capable of being included in a collection. If the type of the object is capable of being included in a collection, one or more collections associated with actions associated with the type of the object are identified. Information describing the identified collections is generated and presented to the user. By selecting information identifying a collection, the user includes the object in the collection corresponding to the selected information.
