Generation of activity stream from server-side and client-side data

摘要

In particular embodiments, the newsfeed is rendered to a particular user using the locally stored copy of the resource, instead of pulling it back from the server-side. Thus, a user may see his or her content even before it is completely uploaded to the social networking system. In particular embodiments, the user may interact with the content, for example, by adding comments, captions, “likes”, etc. to the content even before it has been completely uploaded to the social networking system. In this manner, the user is provided an increased feeling of responsiveness that is independent of the current wireless link condition.
