METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MANAGING EPHEMERAL POST IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM

摘要

A method of posting ephemeral posts is disclosed. The method starts with receiving, from a user of a social network, a request to post an ephemeral post, the request including an ephemeral variable associated with a threshold event. The ephemeral post is posted on behalf of the user. Then an occurrence of the threshold event is monitored. When the threshold event has not occurred, the post is allowed to be accessible to at least one viewer other than the user. When the threshold event has occurred, the post is blocked from being accessible by the at least one view other than the user.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a user of a social network, a request to post an ephemeral post, the request including an ephemeral variable associated with a first threshold event; posting the ephemeral post on behalf of the user; monitoring for an occurrence of the first threshold event; allowing the post to be accessible to at least one viewer other than the user when the first threshold event has not occurred; and blocking the post from being accessible by the at least one viewer other than the user when the first threshold event has occurred.
