1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving shared content as a social network action initiated at a user device by a social network user;
generating an activity based on the social network action to collect metadata associated with the shared content;
in response to one or more layout templates being generated for different display layout formats associated with different types of client devices and for different social network form factors, wherein the different social network form factors are associated with different types of social network Web sites, mapping the shared content and the metadata to the one or more layout templates, the social network action including uploading photos, sharing a URL link, and updating a social network status, the one or more layout templates including different types of data, respectively, depending on the social network action; and
in response to the shared content not having social network form factor specific features, presenting the content using a fallback rendering option.

Abstract
Adaptable layouts for social feeds are described. In embodiments, shared content is received as a social network action initiated at a user device by a social network user. An activity is generated based on the social network action to collect metadata associated with the shared content. The shared content and the metadata is then mapped to layout templates that are each generated for different display layout formats associated with different types of client devices. Additionally, the shared content and the metadata is mapped to additional layout templates that are each generated for different social network form factors.

7. A system, comprising:
-
a social network service configured to receive shared content as a social network action initiated at a user device by a social network user, the shared content comprising at least a URL link; at least a memory and a processor to implement an adaptable layout service configured to; generate an activity based on the social network action to collect metadata associated with the shared content, the activity comprising at least obtaining the URL from the link, getting a thumbnail image for the link, and generating a large image relating to the URL for display on larger display devices; in response to one or more layout templates being generated for different display layout formats associated with different types of client devices and for different social network form factors, wherein the different social network form factors are associated with different types of social network Web sites, map the shared content and the metadata to the one or more layout templates, the mapping comprising converting one or more elements of the shared content to other display methods based at least in part on the social network that is receiving the shared content; and in response to the shared content not having social network form factor specific features, present the content using a fallback rendering option. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
