Abstract: In one embodiment, a social networking system automatically create a shared space for posting requests to the social networking system from multiple users based on social, spatial and temporal proximity, and create a news feed corresponding to the shared space.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a geo-social networking system determines a user's current location, calculates a novelty score for the location representing the user's degree of familiarity, and surfaces content within a geographic and temporal radius based on the novelty score for display to the user.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, the newsfeed is rendered to a particular user using the locally stored copy of the resource, instead of pulling it back from the server-side. Thus, a user may see his or her content even before it is completely uploaded to the social networking system. In particular embodiments, the user may interact with the content, for example, by adding comments, captions, “likes”, etc. to the content even before it has been completely uploaded to the social networking system. In this manner, the user is provided an increased feeling of responsiveness that is independent of the current wireless link condition.

Abstract: In one embodiment, in response to a user's request to upload a photo to a social networking system, a client process accesses information in the user's current location and friends who may be with the user, present the information to the user in a composited posting user interface. After the user confirms a particular current location and a first and second friends who are currently with the user, the client process tags the particular current location and the first and second friends to the photo, and submit to the social networking system a primary posting request in photo upload, and a secondary posting request to check in the user, the first friend and the second friend to the particular current location.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to detecting objects in user-uploaded multimedia such as photos and videos, determining the location at which the media was captured, inferring a set of users of a social network who were physically present at the time and place of capture, and pushing remarketing content to the set of inferred users for the detected objects, or alternatively, the competitors of the detected concepts.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to sponsored story generation from an photo upload in an organic activity stream in a social networking site. A social networking system may apply computer image algorithms to detect image objects in user-uploaded images and videos, and promote them as sponsored stories.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a geo-social networking system that automatically determines an event and tags the event to photos uploaded from multiple users based on social and spatio-temporal proximity.
