Abstract: User-submitted content (e.g., stories) may be associated with descriptive metadata, such as a timeframe, location, tags, and so on. The user-submitted content may be browed and/or searched using the descriptive metadata. Intersection criteria comprising a prevailing timeframe, a location, and/or other metadata criteria may be used to identify an intersection space comprising one or more stories. The stories may be ordered according to relative importance, which may be determined (at least in part) by comparing story metadata to the intersection criteria. Stories may be browsed in an intersection interface comprising a timeframe control. The intersection interface (and the timeframe control) may be configured to receive inputs in various forms including gesture input, movement input, orientation input, and so on.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, system, and computer-readable medium for providing a dynamic paging control that selects the type of paging control to be displayed for use with paged content. Paging controls are used to navigate the paged content. Paging parameters describing the number of pages to be represented by the paging control and a description of the paging control's display environment are used to select the paging control type. If the paging parameters specify a type of paging control to use, that paging control type is used. If no paging control type is specified, the dynamic paging control automatically determines a paging control type based on the paging parameters. The page and the paging control type is then presented for display.
