Abstract
A digital magazine server user may identify a content item presented by the digital magazine server to identify in a thread of messages between the user and other users by interacting with a client device presenting the content item. For example, providing a gesture to the client device identifies the content item and causes presentation of one or more options to identify a thread of messages between users in which to include information identifying the content item. The gesture may begin by the user interacting with a portion of a display device that displays a portion of the content item and continue as the user interacts with the display device along a path from the portion to an additional portion. When an option is selected, the digital magazine server includes information identifying the content item in the thread corresponding to the selected option.
