Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: filtering a set of pages that are maintained in a social networking platform and in which a user has expressed interest based on one or more user-identified categories to identify a subset of the pages that are associated with the one or more identified categories; identifying posts in a data store associated with the pages in the subset; identifying a trending post from among the identified posts based on a measure of popularity of the identified posts; sending data to a user device to cause the user device to display at least the trending post and some additional other identified posts from among the identified posts with the trending posts and the additional other identified posts ordered in the display with the trending post presented first and the additional other posts ordered chronologically; determining to extract, from the electronic social networking platform, new posts for a page in the subset of pages based on a time of filtering the set of pages and a time of previous extraction of posts from the page; and storing the extracted new posts for the page in the data store; wherein determining to extract new posts for the page includes determining that a time lapse between the time of filtering to a time of a previous extraction of posts for the page is greater than a threshold.
