Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a request to create a collaborative post, the request having been submitted by a first user of a social networking system. A determination can be made of at least one second user of the social networking system that was identified as a collaborating user, wherein the at least one second user is permitted to contribute to the collaborative post. The collaborative post can be generated based at least in part on content provided by the first user and the at least one second user. The collaborative post can be published through the social networking system.

Claims (64)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a computing system, a request to create a collaborative post, the request submitted by a first user of a system;

providing, by the computing system, a list of suggested collaborators for the collaborative post, the list of suggested collaborators including at least one second user of the system;

determining, by the computing system, the at least one second user of the system was identified as a collaborator from the list of suggested collaborators, wherein the at least one second user is permitted to contribute to the collaborative post;

generating, by the computing system, the collaborative post based at least in part on content provided by the first user, wherein the collaborative post includes at least a first card created by the first user;

providing, by the computing system, the collaborative post with at least the first card in a content feed through the system; and

after providing the collaborative post with the first card created by the first user in the content feed, updating, by the computing system, the collaborative post to include a second card created by the at least one second user, wherein the updated collaborative post with the first card and the second card is provided in the content feed.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein each card includes text, visual content, audio content, or a combination thereof.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the collaborative post comprises:

determining, by the computing system, the first card that was created by the first user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating, by the computing system, the first card with the collaborative post.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining, by the computing system, one or more edits made to the first card by the at least one second user; and

applying, by the computing system, the one or more edits to the first card, wherein the one or more edits are reflected in the published collaborative post.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the collaborative post comprises:

determining, by the computing system, at least one third card that was created by the at least one second user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating, by the computing system, the at least one third card with the collaborative post.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining, by the computing system, that the at least one third card was submitted after publication of the collaborative post; and

updating, by the computing system, the published collaborative post to include the at least one third card.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second user is permitted to add content to the collaborative post even after the collaborative post is published to the system.

8. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

determining a request to create a collaborative post, the request submitted by a first user of a system;

providing a list of suggested collaborators for the collaborative post, the list of suggested collaborators including at least one second user of the system;

determining the at least one second user of the system was identified as a collaborator from the list of suggested collaborators, wherein the at least one second user is permitted to contribute to the collaborative post;

generating the collaborative post based at least in part on content provided by the first user, wherein the collaborative post includes at least a first card created by the first user;

providing the collaborative post with at least the first card in a content feed through the system; and

after providing the collaborative post with the first card created by the first user in the content feed, updating the collaborative post to include a second card created by the at least one second user, wherein the updated collaborative post with the first card and the second card is provided in the content feed.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein each card includes text, visual content, or a combination thereof.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein generating the collaborative post causes the system to perform:

determining the first card that was created by the first user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating the first card with the collaborative post.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

determining one or more edits made to the first card by the at least one second user; and

applying the one or more edits to the first card, wherein the one or more edits are reflected in the published collaborative post.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein generating the collaborative post comprises:

determining at least one third card that was created by the at least one second user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating the at least one third card with the collaborative post.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

determining that the at least one third card was submitted after publication of the collaborative post; and

updating the published collaborative post to include the at least one third card.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one second user is permitted to add content to the collaborative post even after the collaborative post is published to the system.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

determining a request to create a collaborative post, the request submitted by a first user of a system;

providing a list of suggested collaborators for the collaborative post, the list of suggested collaborators including at least one second user of the system;

determining the at least one second user of the system was identified as a collaborator from the list of suggested collaborators, wherein the at least one second user is permitted to contribute to the collaborative post;

generating the collaborative post based at least in part on content provided by the first user, wherein the collaborative post includes at least a first card created by the first user;

providing the collaborative post with at least the first card in a content feed through the system; and

after providing the collaborative post with the first card created by the first user in the content feed, updating the collaborative post to include a second card created by the at least one second user, wherein the updated collaborative post with the first card and the second card is provided in the content feed.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein each card includes text, visual content, or a combination thereof.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein generating the collaborative post causes the computing system to perform:

determining the first card that was created by the first user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating the first card with the collaborative post.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to perform:

determining one or more edits made to the first card by the at least one second user; and

applying the one or more edits to the first card, wherein the one or more edits are reflected in the published collaborative post.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein generating the collaborative post comprises:

determining at least one third card that was created by the at least one second user for publication with the collaborative post; and

associating the at least one third card with the collaborative post.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to perform:

determining that the at least one third card was submitted after publication of the collaborative post; and

updating the published collaborative post to include the at least one third card.
