  • Publication number: 20150019575
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for filtering feed content in an enterprise social networking system into user-customizable feed channels. Each feed channel is defined by a criterion or criteria customized by a user. Feed content published to one or more feeds is accessed. Portions of the feed content are identified that satisfy a criterion or criteria of a feed channel. A user device is operable to process data to display a list of the feed channels. Each feed channel in the displayed list is user-selectable to cause the display of the feed channel to include only the portion of feed content satisfying the criterion or criteria of the selected feed channel.
