Abstract: A social networking system user may request physical prints of digital photographs stored in connection with the user's user profile on the social networking system. The physical prints are generated by a photograph developer, such as a retail store, and retrieved by the user. The user may request the physical prints from an application executing on a user device that allows the user to identify social context information associated with a digital photograph for inclusion on the physical print. The social networking system may notify users connected to the user and/or to the digital image of the physical print generation.

Abstract: A method for bundling event memories in a social networking system. The method includes identifying a first plurality of user-submitted content items posted to the social networking system that are related to an event involving a plurality of users. The social networking system aggregates the first plurality of user-submitted content items into a bundled event memory, and transmits the bundled event memory to at least some of a plurality of user devices to be presented to at least some of the plurality of users, wherein the plurality of users utilize the plurality of user devices to communicate with the social networking system.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems select a plurality of entities within a social network. Content published by each entity to the social network is received by a plurality of users of the social network that follow the plurality of entities within the social network. One or more of the plurality of entities is selected based upon a characteristic of the plurality of following users. Permission is received from the plurality of entities to publish content to the social network on behalf of each entity. Utilizing the permission, content within a single theme is published to the social network on behalf of each of the plurality of entities, wherein the content within the single theme is published on behalf of each of the plurality of entities contemporaneously with each of the others of the plurality of entities.

Abstract: A method in a social networking system enables social competition between its users. The method includes receiving, from a user device of a user, a challenge creation request message, which includes a challenge indication describing a competition that a set of users may participate in, a challenge stakes indication describing at least one of an award for a winner of the competition and a consequence for losers of the competition, and a set of user identifiers for the set of users. The social networking system notifies the set of users about the competition, receives challenge acceptance messages from some of the users, receives a challenge completion message indicating the winner of the competition, and receives evidence indicating a fulfillment of the challenge stakes. The social networking system transmits information about the competition to a set of one or more user devices of a second set of users.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems display selectable partners to facilitate a financial contribution from a user, receive user selection of one of the partners and an amount of the financial contribution, receive partner feedback to demonstrate an impact of the financial contribution, and display the feedback to the user. The feedback includes a photograph taken of a beneficiary of the financial contribution upon receiving benefit of the financial contribution. The partner submits the feedback to an organizer for review and the organizer approves and provides the feedback to the user.
