1. A method comprising, by a computing device:
- accessing a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them, the nodes comprising;
a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network; and
a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network;
receiving from the first user a selection of a structured query the first user wants to share with one or more second users of the plurality of users, the structured query comprising references to one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes and one or more edges of the plurality of edges; and
sending the structured query for display on a page associated with one or more of the second users.
