Collaborative posts

Abstract

Techniques are described for a social networking system to enable multiple users to collaboratively create, publish, receive attribution, and/or edit content. In some cases, the social networking system may be configured to distribute the collaborative content and feedback associated therewith based on metrics and relationships between collaborators of the collaborative content and users of the social networking system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 receiving, from a first account of a social networking system, feedback associated with collaborative content, the collaborative content associated with a second account and a third account of the social networking system;   selecting the second account based at least in part on a first relationship metric between the first account and the second account and a second relationship metric between the first account and the third account; and   sending, to the second account, a notification associated with the feedback.   
     
     
         2 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising restricting, in response to selecting the second account, the third account from replying to the feedback for a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         3 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first relationship metric is a following metric between the first account and the second account. 
     
     
         4 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part on one or more of:
 a content of the feedback,   a type associated with the feedback,   an identity of a user associated with the first account; or   a characteristic of the first account.   
     
     
         5 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the third account, additional collaborative content;   receiving, from the third account, an indication of the second account;   sending, to the second account, a collaboration invitation to cause the second account to be indicated as an author of the additional collaborative content;   receiving, from the second account, an acceptance of the collaboration invitation; and   publishing the additional collaborative content as a first post associated with the third account and a second post associated with the second account, the first post and the second post identifying the third account and the second account as authors.   
     
     
         6 . The method as recited in  claim 5 , further comprising:
 identifying a fourth account, the fourth account having previously indicated, via the social networking system, an interest in the second account; and   sending, to the fourth account, a notification associated with the additional collaborative content.   
     
     
         7 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
 receiving, from a first account of a social networking system, feedback associated with collaborative content, the collaborative content associated with a second account and a third account of the social networking system;   generating a first score for the second account with respect to the feedback;   generating a second score for the third account with respect to the feedback;   selecting the second account based at least in part on the first score and the second score; and   sending, to the second account, a notification associated with the feedback.   
     
     
         8 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 7 , wherein:
 generating the first score is based at least in part on a first relationship between first the first account and the second account; and   generating the second score is based at least in part on a second relationship between the first account and the third account.   
     
     
         9 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise responsive to selecting the second account, restricting the third account from responding to the feedback via the social networking system. 
     
     
         10 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 9 , wherein restricting the third account from responding is for a predetermined period of time from the feedback. 
     
     
         11 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 7 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part on a positivity of the feedback. 
     
     
         12 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the feedback includes an indication of the second account as a target for the feedback. 
     
     
         13 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in  claim 12 , wherein generating a first score is based at least in part on the indication of the second account as the target for the feedback. 
     
     
         14 . A social networking system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:   receiving, from a first account of a social networking system, feedback associated with collaborative content, the collaborative content associated with a second account and a third account of the social networking system;   selecting the second account based at least in part on a content of feedback; and   sending, to the second account, a notification associated with the feedback.   
     
     
         15 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part on a number of shares of the collaborative content by the first account. 
     
     
         16 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part a ranking of the second account and the third account with respect to the feedback. 
     
     
         17 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part a status of the second account with respect to the collaborative content. 
     
     
         18 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise responsive to selecting the second account, restricting the third account from responding to the feedback via the social networking system. 
     
     
         19 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein selecting the second account is based at least in part a first relationship metric between the first account and the second account and a second relationship metric between the first account and the third account. 
     
     
         20 . The social networking system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving, from the third account, additional collaborative content;   receiving, from the third account, an indication of the second account;   sending, to the second account, a collaboration invitation to cause the second account to be indicated as an author of the additional collaborative content;   receiving, from the second account, an acceptance of the collaboration invitation;   publishing the additional collaborative content as a first post associated with the third account and a second post associated with the second account, the first post and the second post identifying the third account and the second account as authors;   identifying a fourth account, the fourth account having previously indicated, via the social networking system, an interest in the second account; and   sending, to the fourth account, a notification associated with the additional collaborative content.
