Distributed generation of live feed updates in a social networking system

摘要

Each user from the users of the social networking system accesses the social networking system through a client device coupled with one of the servers on which the social networking system is implemented. In response to an occurrence of an information update, a first server from the multiple servers, transmits a representation of the information update to each one of other servers from the multiple servers; a second server from the other servers determines a set of active feeds associated with one or more active users that are connected to the social networking service through the second server; and for each active feed from the set of active feeds, the social networking system updates a view of the active feed to include the information update.
