1. A method comprising:
- by a client computing device, automatically determining, in response to a determination that a user is generating social-network content for display on the social network and contemporaneous with the user'"'"'s generation of the social-network content, a current location of the user, the social network comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, at least one node corresponding to the user;
by the client computing device, sending, automatically and without requiring further user input and before the social-network content is posted to the social network, the current location to an external server computing device;
by the client computing device, receiving from the server an identification of one or more places corresponding to the current location; and
by the client computing device, presenting at least one of the places to the user in association with the user-generated content.
