Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for delaying publicizing, at a second source, upload of a content item to a first source, until confirmation of availability of the content item at the first source. In one or more aspects, a system includes an upload component configured to upload content to a content server, a share component configured to receive selection of a sharing source to post a notification that informs users regarding availability of the content at the content server, a confirmation component configured to receive confirmation from the content server in response to the content becoming available at the content server following the upload of the content, and a notification component configured to post the notification at the sharing source in response to receipt of the confirmation.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware processor that, when executing computer executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to;

receive, from a computing device, a request to upload a content item to a content server, wherein the request includes a selected sharing source for indicating availability of the content item at the content server;

initiate transmission of the content item from the computing device to the content server in response to the request;

generate a notification for presentation on an interface corresponding to the selected sharing source regarding availability of the content item at the content server;

inhibit the notification from being presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source until a trigger event has been detected, wherein the trigger event comprises receiving a confirmation message from the content server in response to the content item becoming available at the content server following the transmission of the content item; and

automatically, without receiving user input, cause the notification to be presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source in response to receiving the confirmation message.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to receive user input regarding information to include in the notification.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the notification can include a link to the content item at the content server.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the content item is embedded in the notification.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the selecting sharing source comprises a social network and wherein the notification is presented as a feed item on the social network.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

receive a selection of a user account of the social network to provide the notification; and

provide the notification to the user account in response to receiving the confirmation message.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to receive an authorization to provide the notification to the social network by transmitting a request to sign into a user account corresponding to a user of the computing device.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, using a hardware processor, a request from a computing device to upload a content item to a content server, wherein the request includes a selected sharing source for indicating availability of the content item at the content server;

initiating transmission of the content item from the computing device to the content server in response to the request;

generating a notification for presentation on an interface corresponding to the selected sharing source regarding availability of the content item at the content server;

inhibiting the notification from being presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source until a trigger event has been detected, wherein the trigger event comprises receiving a confirmation message from the content server in response to the content item becoming available at the content server following the transmission of the content item; and

automatically, without receiving user input, causing the notification to be presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source in response to receiving the confirmation message.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving user input regarding information to include in the notification.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the notification can include a link to the content item at the content server.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the content item is embedded in the notification.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the selecting sharing source comprises a social network and wherein the notification is presented as a feed item on the social network.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving a selection of a user account of the social network to provide the notification; and

providing the notification to the user account in response to receiving the confirmation message.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising receiving an authorization to provide the notification to the social network by transmitting a request to sign into a user account corresponding to a user of the computing device.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a computing device to upload a content item to a content server, wherein the request includes a selected sharing source for indicating availability of the content item at the content server;

initiating transmission of the content item from the computing device to the content server in response to the request;

generating a notification for presentation on an interface corresponding to the selected sharing source regarding availability of the content item at the content server;

inhibiting the notification from being presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source until a trigger event has been detected, wherein the trigger event comprises receiving a confirmation message from the content server in response to the content item becoming available at the content server following the transmission of the content item; and

automatically, without receiving user input, causing the notification to be presented on the interface corresponding to the selected sharing source in response to receiving the confirmation message.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the method further comprises receiving user input regarding information to include in the notification.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the notification can include a link to the content item at the content server.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the content item is embedded in the notification.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the selecting sharing source comprises a social network and wherein the notification is presented as a feed item on the social network.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a selection of a user account of the social network to provide the notification; and

providing the notification to the user account in response to receiving the confirmation message.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the method further comprises receiving an authorization to provide the notification to the social network by transmitting a request to sign into a user account corresponding to a user of the computing device.
