Abstract
Techniques to allow for ease of use of a photo browsing interface of a social networking system. In an embodiment, a designation of a first image for sharing is received from within a view. A first animation indicating that the first image has been designated for sharing is displayed. The displaying may comprise miniaturizing a copy of the first image. The miniaturizing may proceed from a first location within the view to a second location within the view. The first location may be associated with at least one of a center of the view and an option to designate the first image for sharing. The second location may be associated with a message compose option.
