Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing system may access a social graph of an online social network comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, where each of the edges between two of the nodes represent a single degree of separation between them, and the nodes comprise a first node corresponding to a first user of the online social network, and a plurality of second nodes corresponding to a plurality of second users associated with the online social network. The computing system may calculate a content score for each of one or more content items shared by the second users on the online social network, where each content score is based at least in part on a proximity coefficient between the first user and the content item. The computing system may send one or more of the scored content items for display to the first user.
