Abstract:
According to a method for displaying an online game in a content stream, a website logon is received from a user of a computing device and an associated profile is retrieved. The content stream associated with the profile is displayed in a GUI presented by the computing device. The content stream includes multiple views associated with different games that are multiplayer online games. The view associated with a game is updated in response to an event recognized by the game mechanics model of this game. The view associated with the game is relocated to a location of prominence in the content stream, if the user data indicates that the user is a participant of the game. The relative location of the view associated with the game is maintained within the content stream, if the user data indicates that the user is a spectator of the game.
