Abstract

A server is configured to receive, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object. The server is further configured to generate a debrief-object from the information for a debrief-object. The server is further configured to generate a post-object containing the debrief-object. The server is further configured to associate the generated post-object with a newsfeed-object that contains a plurality of other post-objects. The server is further configured to generate an interface to render the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created. The server is further configured to serve, to a second user device, the interface. The first user device is configured to transmit, to the server, the information for the debrief-object. The second user device is configured to display the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in another order.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a server configured to;

receive, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object;

generate a debrief-object from the information for a debrief-object;

generate a post-object containing the debrief-object;

associate the generated post-object with a newsfeed-object that contains a plurality of other post-objects;

generate an interface to render the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created; and

serve, to a second user device, the interface;

the first user device configured to transmit, to the server, the information for the debrief-object; and

the second user device configured to display the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the first user device is further configured to transmit, to the server, second information specifying an ordering of post-objects in the newsfeed-object;

the server is further configured to associate ordering information with the newsfeed-object; and

the second user device is configured to display the newsfeed-object according to the ordering information.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first user devices is further configured to present a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to define the second information.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises a plurality of numerical values and an associated Boolean indicator for each numerical value;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the plurality of numerical values each next to one of two possible symbols representative of the associated Boolean indicator.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises user-generated text having user-selected formatting;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the user-generated text formatted according to the user-selected formatting.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein to receive, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object, the server is further configured to:

provide a list of possible contacts associated with an organization;

receive an indication of a proper subset of the possible contacts associated with the organization; and

wherein the second user device is associated with one of the indicated possible contacts associated with the organization.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein to generate a post-object containing the debrief-object, the server is configured to access a second debrief-object and to generate the post-object from both the debrief-object and the second debrief object.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object;

generating a debrief-object from the information for a debrief-object;

generating a post-object containing the debrief-object;

associating the generated post-object with a newsfeed-object that contains a plurality of other post-objects;

generating an interface to render the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created; and

serving, to a second user device, the interface.

9. The method of claim 8, the method further comprising:

receiving second information specifying an ordering of post-objects in the newsfeed-object; and

associating ordering information with the newsfeed-object.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first user devices is further configured to present a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to define the second information.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises a plurality of numerical values and an associated Boolean indicator for each numerical value;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the plurality of numerical values each next to one of two possible symbols representative of the associated Boolean indicator.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises user-generated text having user-selected formatting;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the user-generated text formatted according to the user-selected formatting.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein to receiving, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object further comprises:

provide a list of possible contacts associated with an organization;

receive an indication of a proper subset of the possible contacts associated with the organization; and

wherein the second user device is associated with one of the indicated possible contacts associated with the organization.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein generating a post-object containing the debrief-object further comprises accessing a second debrief-object and to generate the post-object from both the debrief-object and the second debrief object.

15. A computer-readable media having instructions tangibly encoded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object;

generating a debrief-object from the information for a debrief-object;

generating a post-object containing the debrief-object;

associating the generated post-object with a newsfeed-object that contains a plurality of other post-objects;

generating an interface to render the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created; and

serving, to a second user device, the interface.

16. The media of claim 15, the operations further comprising:

receiving second information specifying an ordering of post-objects in the newsfeed-object; and

associating ordering information with the newsfeed-object.

17. The media of claim 16, wherein the first user devices is further configured to present a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to define the second information.

18. The media of claim 15, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises a plurality of numerical values and an associated Boolean indicator for each numerical value;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the plurality of numerical values each next to one of two possible symbols representative of the associated Boolean indicator.

19. The media of claim 15, wherein one of the debrief-objects comprises user-generated text having user-selected formatting;

and

wherein, to display the display the newsfeed-object, the second user device displays, in a single display of a post-object, the user-generated text formatted according to the user-selected formatting.

20. The media of claim 15, wherein to receiving, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object further comprises:

provide a list of possible contacts associated with an organization;

receive an indication of a proper subset of the possible contacts associated with the organization; and

wherein the second user device is associated with one of the indicated possible contacts associated with the organization.
