Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes automatically determining, in response to user input that includes an indication that the user is generating social-network content, a location of the user. The social network has a number of nodes and a number of edges connecting the nodes, and at least one node corresponds to the user. The method includes sending, automatically and without requiring further user input, the location from a client computing device of the user to an external server computing device and receiving from the server an identification of one or more places corresponding to the location.
