Blinder avoidance in social network interactions
First Claim
1. A method for blinder avoidance in social networking interactions, the method comprising:
- executing a social networking data processing system in memory of a host computing system to provide a social networking service to different end users in a social network;
defining in a record in a table in memory of the host computing system, a user interface interaction for a user interface of the social networking service, a specified one of the different end users, and a corresponding user interface change in the user interface in connection with a presentation of a status update received for the specified one of the different end users;
receiving in a user interface for the social networking service by another of the different end users in the social network, a stream of status updates for the different end users in the social network;
detecting a performance in the user interface of a particular user interface action by the another of the different end users; and
,on condition both that one of the status updates in the stream pertains to the specified one of the different end users and also that the particular user interface action is present in the record in connection with the specified one of the different end users, locating in the table the corresponding user interface change, and performing the corresponding user interface change in the user interface in connection with the presentation of the status update for the specified one of the different end users.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for blinder avoidance in social networking interactions includes executing a social networking data processing system in memory of a host computing system to provide a social networking service to different users in a social network. The method also includes defining in memory of the host computing system a user interface interaction for a user interface of the social networking service, and a corresponding user interface change in connection with a presentation of a status update for a user in different streams of other users of the social networking service. In response to detecting the user interface interaction with respect to a stream of status updates presented to one of the other users, the corresponding user interface change is performed in the user interface in connection with the presentation of the status update for the user in the stream.
