Abstract:

One variation of a method for displaying a product-related image to a user while shopping includes: loading an image to a social networking system; receiving a tag including identification of an item visible in a region of the image; based on the tag, correlating the item with a product; posting the image to a social feed within the social networking system, the social feed including a set of photos related to the product; receiving a scan from a user, the scan generated through a mobile computing device carried by the user; correlating the scan with the product; and displaying the image within a social networking interface accessible through a display of the mobile computing device.
