  • Patent number: 11954425
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for rendering an annotatable image within an image viewer. An indication of an intent to annotate the annotatable image is received from a user. A meme generation interface is rendered with respect to the annotatable image. Meme annotation criteria is received from the user via the meme generation interface. The meme annotation criteria includes one or more of: a meme message, a meme position indicator, and a font type identifier. The annotatable image is modified based, at least in part, upon the meme annotation criteria, thus generating an annotated image. The annotated image is published to a meme publication website.

  • Patent number: 10135781
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for informing a user of recent activities in an online social network. A message group in an online activity stream of an online network is identified. The message group includes a first message describing a first activity of an online user of the online network, and multiple second messages responsive to the first message, the second messages being representative of multiple ancillary activities performed in the online network with respect to the first activity. A single notification is generated that includes a first description of the first activity, different than the first message, and a second description of the multiple ancillary activities different than each of the multiple second messages. The single notification is then presented in a notification list with other notifications.

  • Publication number: 20170054819
    Abstract: A system for categorizing users based on activities in a social network analyzes behavior data of online social activities for each user of a set of users. The system generates a user activity log for each user of the set of users, where the user activity log for each user is generated based on the behavior data. The system determines a set of behavioral categories based on the users' activity logs, each behavioral category of the set of behavioral categories being defined by a set of values corresponding to the one or more social activities in the behavior data. The system also associates at least one user of the set of users with one behavioral category of the set of behavioral categories based on the set of values defining the one behavioral category and user activity log for the at least one user.
