An important use case we're designing for in SocialAPI is allowing people access to their social networking information and interactions while they browse without having to return to the social networking site. The idea is that this information can be absorbed passively: users can ignore their social feed or temporarily tune in for an update. If they see an item they wish to interactive with more richly, they can visit the social networking site. By allowing users to preview content in their feed, we both give them richer interaction with their content and allow them to read more context on an item before they (possibly) decide to read the full story. While any network should be able to use this feature, three kinds of overlay notifications will by used by Facebook's feature specifically: 1. News Story Text Overlay For social news items which contain only text (e.g. status updates), an overlay appears which displays the full message, in most cases, and lets the user see the update, Like it, or comment on it. Appears on click. 2. News Story Media Overlay For social news items which contain an image or video, an overlay which displays the media lets the user see the item, Like it, or comment on it. Ideally, video updates should be playable from within these notifications, though this functionality may have to wait for a later iteration to be fully implemented. Appears on click. 3. Shrunken Sidebar Contact Notification When a user clicks “Shrink sidebar” in the dropdown, they see only their contacts’ avatars with a status indicator. Mousing over the avatars displays an overlay with contacts’ full name.
