  • Patent number: 10678875
    Abstract: Structured information about nodes may be generated and shared using sub-nodes. A node in a social networking system may be associated with sub-nodes that are definable by the node owner, such as menu items for a restaurant or songs in playlists for an artist. Users of the system may interact with the sub-nodes, and the interactions may be presented back on the page to a user, aggregated according to the user's connections in the social networking system (e.g., which songs your friends listened to the most by the artist, which menu items were consumed the most). Users may associate other sub-nodes to the node, such as identifying other menu items served by a restaurant, and the node owner may confirm these associations. Location awareness functionalities may be used to inform a user of highly recommended sub-nodes nearby as indicated by other users of the social networking system.

  • Patent number: 9712473
    Abstract: Methods, system, and user interfaces for providing a user interface enabling community-based map functionalities for users of a social networking system are described. One method includes providing a user interface (UI) that includes a geographic map portion and a rating portion. The geographic map portion depicts a geographic area and includes a set of location identifiers, and the rating portion includes a set of rating list elements. Each rating list element includes a rating input UI element allowing the user to rate a location that the social networking system has determined that the user has visited. The method also includes receiving a first rating for a first location, which is generated through use of the rating portion. The method further includes, responsive to said receiving of the first rating, modifying the user interface to indicate that the first rating was received.

  • Publication number: 20130159089
    Abstract: A social networking system distributes offers to its users using the social networking users' news feed or another communication channel in the social networking system. To distribute offers, the social networking system receives a post from an advertising user, which includes a coupon or other offer that can be redeemed at a merchant establishment. The post generates an offer story that includes the post with the offer, and an option for claiming the offer. The social networking system sends the offer story to a viewing user of the social networking system, and receives from the viewing user a selection of the option for claiming the offer. To further distribute the offer, the social networking system sends a news story about the viewing user claiming the offer in a feed of news stories to one or more other users of the social networking system who are connected to the viewing user.
