Systems and methods for providing updates in social networking systems
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire content items in a content sharing system from a time a user last accessed the content sharing system. The content items can be ranked based on relevance of the content items. An update including at least one content item selected from the content items for access by the user can be generated.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
acquiring, by a computing system, content items in a content sharing system from a time a user last accessed the content sharing system, wherein the content items were posted by users that are within a threshold level of connection proximity to the user in the content sharing system;
ranking, by the computing system, the content items based on relevance of the content items;
generating, by the computing system, an update including a summary of content items selected from the ranked content items; and
providing, by the computing system, while the user is accessing the content sharing system, a notification for the user through a content feed associated with the content sharing system and separate from the update including the summary of content items, wherein the notification is selectable to access the update including the summary of content items.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, by the computing system, the update for the user upon user selection of the notification.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is provided based on a routine of the user and the routine is determined based on a time in a time period within which a probability of the user accessing the content sharing system satisfies a threshold.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein ranking the content items based on the relevance of the content items comprises:
aggregating the content items from the time the user last accessed the content sharing system to a time the user is currently accessing the content sharing system; and
determining the relevance of the content items based at least in part on social importance of the content items.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the social importance of the content items includes a number of comments the content items received in the content sharing system, a number of reactions the content items received in the content sharing system, and a number of shares the content items received in the content sharing system.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the number of reactions the content items received in the content sharing system includes at least one of likes, loves, or wows.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the relevance of the content items is determined based on recency of the content items, the recency of the content items determined based on time stamps of the content items.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the relevance of the content items is determined based on types of content items and the types of content items include at least one of images, video, or text, or content relating to life events.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the update includes a messaging interface allowing the user to interact with at least one content item.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the update provides location related information based on location data of the user and the location related information includes at least one of weather information or sports information.
11. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform:
acquiring content items in a content sharing system from a time a user last accessed the content sharing system, wherein the content items were posted by users that are within a threshold level of connection proximity to the user in the content sharing system;
ranking the content items based on relevance of the content items;
generating an update including a summary of content items selected from the ranked content items; and
providing, while the user is accessing the content sharing system, a notification for the user through a content feed associated with the content sharing system and separate from the update including the summary of content items, wherein the notification is selectable to access the update including the summary of content items.
12. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the computing system to further perform:
providing the update for the user upon user selection of the notification.
13. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the notification is provided based on a routine of the user and the routine is determined based on a time in a time period within which a probability of the user accessing the content sharing system satisfies a threshold.
14. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein ranking the content items based on the relevance of the content items comprises:
aggregating the content items from the time the user last accessed the content sharing system to a time the user is currently accessing the content sharing system; and
determining the relevance of the content items based at least in part on social importance of the content items.
15. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein the relevance of the content items is determined based on recency of the content items, the recency of the content items determined based on time stamps of the content items.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause a computing system to perform a method comprising:
acquiring content items in a content sharing system from a time a user last accessed the content sharing system, wherein the content items were posted by users that are within a threshold level of connection proximity to the user in the content sharing system;
ranking the content items based on relevance of the content items;
generating an update including a summary of content items selected from the ranked content items; and
providing, while the user is accessing the content sharing system, a notification for the user through a content feed associated with the content sharing system and separate from the update including the summary of content items, wherein the notification is selectable to access the update including the summary of content items.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions when executed cause the computing system to further perform:
providing the update for the user upon user selection of the notification.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the notification is provided based on a routine of the user and the routine is determined based on a time in a time period within which a probability of the user accessing the content sharing system satisfies a threshold.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein ranking the content items based on the relevance of the content items comprises:
aggregating the content items from the time the user last accessed the content sharing system to a time the user is currently accessing the content sharing system; and
determining the relevance of the content items based at least in part on social importance of the content items.
20. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the update further includes an element selectable to access the content feed.
