MULTI-FUNCTIONAL NAVIGATION BAR

摘要

A multi-functional navigation bar for a web-based service is described. Consistent with some embodiments of the invention, the navigation bar provides a unified path or user experience for searching for user-generated content that has been posted to a service, and posting new user-generated content to the service. By providing a unified path to perform both the searching and posting functions, the likelihood of the occurrence of redundant or duplicate data is reduced.
