Content feed user interface with gallery display of same type items

Abstract

Additional content items that satisfy predefined criteria are identified. The predefined criteria may be that the selected and additional content items have particular characteristics that are the same. Information corresponding to the selected and identified content items is presented to a user. Characteristics based on which additional content items may be identified may include data type, source, and absence of content. The information may be presented in a gallery view, which can be a thumbnails gallery for images or a playlist for digital audio or video.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 10 . (canceled)

         19 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 obtaining, through a second affordance presented by the client system, a definition of a content feed source in the plurality of content feed sources.   
     
     
         20 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , further comprising displaying identifying information associated with at least a subset of the feed content items in the list at a given time. 
     
     
         21 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , wherein the first affordance is a button, menu or link. 
     
     
         22 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , wherein the presenting the list further comprises sorting the feed content items chronologically or reverse chronologically by publication date and time. 
     
     
         23 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , wherein the presenting the list further comprises removing a respective feed content item from the list when a user selects the respective feed content item to read. 
     
     
         24 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a gallery affordance, replacing the full version of the respective feed content item in the gallery panel with a thumbnail image of each feed content item in at least a subset of feed content items in the list of feed content items, thereby displaying a plurality of thumbnail images.   
     
     
         25 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 24 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a respective thumbnail image in the plurality of thumbnail images, replacing the plurality of thumbnail images with a full version of the feed content item that corresponds to the respective thumbnail image.   
     
     
         26 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 24 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a respective thumbnail image in the plurality of thumbnail images, displaying a full version of the feed content item that corresponds to the respective thumbnail image in a new panel.   
     
     
         27 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a gallery affordance, replacing the full version of the respective feed content item in the gallery panel with a thumbnail image of each feed content item in a subset of feed content items in the list of feed content items that are all from the same content feed source, thereby displaying a plurality of thumbnail images.   
     
     
         28 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 27 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a respective thumbnail image in the plurality of thumbnail images, replacing the plurality of thumbnail images with a full version of the feed content item that corresponds to the respective thumbnail image.   
     
     
         29 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 27 , further comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a respective thumbnail image in the plurality of thumbnail images, displaying a full version of the feed content item that corresponds to the respective thumbnail image in a new panel.   
     
     
         30 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 18 , wherein the respective feed content item is a news web site or a link to a blog posting and the full version of the respective feed content item in the gallery panel is respectively the article or the blog posting. 
     
     
         31 . A system for presenting content, comprising:
 memory;   one or more processors; and   instructions, stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:   present, by a client system, a list of feed content items from a plurality of content feed sources in which respective feed content items are interleaved without regard to content feed source;   acquire instructions, through a first affordance presented by the client system, to create a filter or label to be applied against one or more select content feed sources of the plurality of content feed sources or one or more select feed content items of the list of feed content items;   apply the filter thereby removing from inclusion in the list of feed content items, one or more feed content items from the plurality of content feed sources; and   responsive to a first user selection of a respective feed content item in the list of feed content items, additionally present a full version of the respective feed content item in a gallery panel.   
     
     
         32 . The system of  claim 31 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:
 obtain, through a second affordance presented by the client system, a definition of a content feed source in the plurality of content feed sources.   
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 31 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to display identifying information associated with at least a subset of the feed content items in the list at a given time. 
     
     
         34 . The system of  claim 31 , wherein the first affordance is a button, menu or link.
