Claim 12:
13. A computer implemented method, comprising:
providing over a network to a first user device a user interface that enables a user to associate, with respect to a given video, respective information items with respective user-specified positions of the given video, a given information item comprising an image;
providing an interface configured to enable uploaded videos to be organized by category
receiving a first video via a user interface that enables a given video to be uploaded to a storage system by dragging the given video to a first area;
access shared computer resources arranged as a cloud system on demand over one or more networks;
receiving from the first user device, via the user interface that enables a user to associate respective information items with respective user-specified positions of the given video, associations of respective information items, comprising respective images, with respective user-specified positions of the first video;
storing the association of the respective information items with the respective user-specified positions of the first video;
causing a presentation of a count indicating a number of views of the first video to be provided via at least one user device;
at least partly in response to an action of a second user via a second user device of the second user, cause the first video to be played in a playback area via the second user device with at least a portion of the respective information items displayed in a scrubber area,
wherein the scrubber area is defined by a scrubber bar and an area directly adjoining the scrubber bar and wherein the scrubber area is at least partly encompassed by the playback area;
enabling a corresponding navigation event to a given position of the first video to occur at least partly in response to the second user selecting a corresponding information item during a playback of the first video, the corresponding information item displayed in the scrubber area defined by the scrubber bar and the area directly adjoining the scrubber bar and at least partly encompassed by the playback area;
wherein the scrubber area, at least partly encompassed by the playback area, is semitransparent to allow a partial view of the first video therethrough, and the area directly adjoining the scrubber bar is shaded to differentiate it from the playback area, and wherein at least one information item is displayed at least partially in the playback area;
enabling a time remaining to be displayed during playback of the first video;
receiving a search query from a given user device;
using a search engine to:
identify one or more matching videos corresponding to the search query using text associated with corresponding video, and
to generate search results;

causing at least a portion of the search results to be presented on the given user device, the search results including respective images associated with respective videos included in the search results, wherein the search results are displayed in association with a plurality of search result sort controls, the plurality of search result sort controls comprising recentness and popularity;
causing the search results to be presented via the given user device in an order sorted in accordance with a user selection of a given sort control in the plurality of search result sort controls.
