Abstract

Techniques to allow for ease of navigation within a photo browsing interface of a social networking system. In one embodiment, a designation of a first image for sharing is received from within at least one of a single-image view and a camera view. Based on the designation, the first image is added to a communication. The designation may be based on a user selection of an option provided by an interface of a mobile device. The first image may be received from within a social networking application or from within a dedicated camera application. In another embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and the designated images is based on the privacy setting of a user. The communication and the designated images may contain tag data identifying one or more people on a social networking system. In an alternative embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and designated images is adjusted according to the one or more people identified in the tag data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a user, a designation of one or more items of digital media;
receiving, from the user, a communication regarding the one or more items of digital media;
receiving, from the user, tag data regarding the communication or the one or more items of digital media, wherein the tag data identifies one or more entities, selected by the user, on a social networking system;
associating the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data, based on the designation; and
sharing the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data with users of the social networking system.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identified entities comprise one or more users of the social networking system.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identified entities are non-user entities comprising: content items, web pages, groups, activities, messages, or concepts.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising setting a privacy level of the communication and the one or more items of digital media.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising adjusting the privacy level for the communication and the one or more items of digital media based on the identified entities.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the digital media comprises digital images.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the digital media comprises: videos, illustrations, or documents.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the communication comprises textual content.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage media containing computer program code for:
receiving, from a user, a designation of one or more items of digital media;
receiving, from the user, a communication regarding the one or more items of digital media;
receiving, from the user, tag data regarding the communication or the one or more items of digital media, wherein the tag data identifies one or more entities, selected by the user, on a social networking system;
associating the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data, based on the designation; and
sharing the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data with users of the social networking system.

10. The media of claim 9 , wherein the identified entities comprise one or more users of the social networking system.

11. The media of claim 9 , wherein the identified entities are non-user entities comprising: content items, web pages, groups, activities, messages, or concepts.

12. The media of claim 9 , further comprising setting a privacy level of the communication and the one or more items of digital media.

13. The media of claim 12 , further comprising adjusting the privacy level for the communication and the one or more items of digital media based on the identified entities.

14. The media of claim 9 , wherein the digital media comprises digital images.

15. The media of claim 9 , wherein the digital media comprises: videos, illustrations, or documents.

16. The media of claim 9 , wherein the communication comprises textual content.

17. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
receive, from a user, a designation of one or more items of digital media;
receive, from the user, a communication regarding the one or more items of digital media;
receive, from the user, tag data regarding the communication or the one or more items of digital media, wherein the tag data identifies one or more entities, selected by the user, on a social networking system;
associate the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data, based on the designation; and
share the one or more items of digital media, the communication, and the tag data with users of the social networking system.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the identified entities comprise one or more users of the social networking system.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the identified entities are non-user entities comprising: content items, web pages, groups, activities, messages, or concepts.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:
set a privacy level of the communication and the one or more items of digital media.

21. The system of claim 20 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:
adjust the privacy level for the communication and the one or more items of digital media based on the identified entities.

22. The system of claim 17 , wherein the digital media comprises digital images.

23. The system of claim 17 , wherein the digital media comprises: videos, illustrations, or documents.

24. The system of claim 17 , wherein the communication comprises textual content.
