Systems and methods for sharing user generated slide objects over a network

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to an address match in connection with a request for a target structured document, identifying one or more slide objects associated with the target structured document, the one or more slide objects defining a set of anchor point definitions in the target structured document; identifying one or more anchor points corresponding to the one or more slide objects in a document object model (DOM) representation of the target structured document based on the set of anchor point definitions; accessing content corresponding to the one or more slide objects; and rendering the target structured document and the content of the one or more slide objects proximal to the identified anchor points.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 in connection with a target content object rendered by a client computing device:   identifying a slide object having content associated with but distinct from the target content object, the slide object defining an anchor point definition identifying an anchor point within the target content object;   identifying, in a representation of the target content object, at least one anchor point corresponding to the slide object, based on the anchor point definition; and   rendering, at the client computing device, the slide object as an overlay to the target content object, the slide object being rendered relative to the target content object at a position proximal to the identified anchor point.
