| 20130024526 | METHOD OF MANAGING FEEDS BASED ON CLASSIFICATIONS - Primary and secondary messages are included in a feed according to a “full thread” mode or a “stream” mode. The “full thread” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include both primary and secondary messages. In contrast, the “stream” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include only primary messages. In this way, a feed viewed in “full thread” mode provides to users a comprehensive view of messages included in the feed. Alternatively, a feed viewed in “stream” mode provides to users a concise view messages included in the feed. | 01-24-2013 |
