20140033075 | Managing User Endorsements in Online Social Networking Systems - A computer system facilitates the process of enabling users of an online social networking system to endorse online content. A user of the online social networking system provides input representing an address (e.g., URL) of the content. In response, the system generates code implementing a mechanism for endorsing the content (such as a Facebook “like” button) and provides the code as output to the user. The user may then insert the code into a page (e.g., a Facebook page or a web page external to Facebook) containing the content, thereby producing a modified page. The modified page may be rendered to display a Facebook “like” button or other means for endorsing the content. Furthermore, the user may use the system to control the appearance of messages (such as Facebook news feed stories) that are generated in response to an endorsement of the content, and to track content endorsements. | 01-30-2014 |

For example, a user of such a system may post a unit of content to such a system and associate one or more categories with that unit of content.

When the posted content is displayed to users of the online social networking system, the categories associated with the posted content may or may not be displayed in association with the posted content. The set of categories associated with the posted content may be modified after the content is posted. Users other than the user who posted the content may be enabled to post other content within the same categories, but may be prevented from modifying those categories. | 01-30-2014 |

The modified hyperlink may then be shared with the other users instead of the original hyperlink.
