Aggregating interactions for content items

Abstract

A request to generate a first post data item for display at a first location may be received. The first post data item may include a reference to a content item. A content identifier may be determined for the first post data item based on the reference to the content item. One or more additional post data items may be retrieved based on the content identifier where each of the one or more additional post data items includes another reference to the content item. The first post data item and the one or more additional post data items may be provided based on whether an author of the first post data item or one or more additional authors of the one or more additional post data items are in a social graph of a viewer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a request to generate a first post data item for display at a first location, the first post data item including a reference to a content item;   determining a content identifier for the first post data item based on the reference to the content item;   retrieving, by a processor, one or more additional post data items based on the content identifier, wherein each of the one or more additional post data items includes another reference to the content item; and   providing the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on whether an author of the first post data item or one or more additional authors of the one or more additional post data items are in a social graph of a viewer.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reference to the content item is based on a location of the content item. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the providing of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items is further based on a recency of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items comprises:
 sorting the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on a geographical proximity of the author or the one or more additional authors that are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items comprises:
 prioritizing the first post data item or the one or more additional post data items when the author or the one or more additional authors are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the post data item and the one or more additional post data items is in response to a request to access a second location that is separate from the first location. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first location is defined by a first web page, and wherein the second location is defined by a second web page. 
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor, operatively coupled with the memory, to:
 receive a request to generate a first post data item for display at a first location, the first post data item including a reference to a content item; 
 determine a content identifier for the first post data item based on the reference to the content item; 
 retrieve one or more additional post data items based on the content identifier, wherein each of the one or more additional post data items includes another reference to the content item; and 
 provide the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on whether an author of the first post data item or one or more additional authors of the one or more additional post data items are in a social graph of a viewer. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the reference to the content item is based on a location of the content item. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the providing of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items is further based on a recency of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein to provide the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items, the processor is further to:
 sort the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on a geographical proximity of the author or the one or more additional authors that are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein to provide the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items, the processor is further to:
 prioritize the first post data item or the one or more additional post data items when the author or the one or more additional authors are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein providing the post data item and the one or more additional post data items is in response to a request to access a second location that is separate from the first location. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the first location is defined by a first web page, and wherein the second location is defined by a second web page. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving a request to generate a first post data item for display at a first location, the first post data item including a reference to a content item;   determining a content identifier for the first post data item based on the reference to the content item;   retrieving one or more additional post data items based on the content identifier, wherein each of the one or more additional post data items includes another reference to the content item; and   providing the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on whether an author of the first post data item or one or more additional authors of the one or more additional post data items are in a social graph of a viewer.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the reference to the content item is based on a location of the content item. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the providing of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items is further based on a recency of the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein to provide the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items, the operations further comprise:
 sorting the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items based on a geographical proximity of the author or the one or more additional authors that are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein to provide the first post data item and the one or more additional post data items, the operations further comprise:
 prioritizing the first post data item or the one or more additional post data items when the author or the one or more additional authors are in the social graph of the viewer.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein providing the post data item and the one or more additional post data items is in response to a request to access a second location that is separate from the first location.
