Live social modules on online social networks

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a post associated with a first user of an online social network; extracting n-grams from the post; determining whether the post is associated with a trending topic based on whether one or more of the extracted n-grams are associated with the trending topic; identifying one or more second users, wherein each second user is a first-degree connection of the first user within the online social network and wherein each second user is a subscribing user; generating, for each second user, a live social module comprising the post; and sending, to a system of each second user, the live social module.
