Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a media content watch list subsystem from a media content access device, media content watch list data representing a plurality of media content instances available for experiencing by a user; maintaining, by the media content watch list subsystem, the media content watch list data; providing, by the media content watch list subsystem for presentation by the media content access device, a graphical user interface including one or more tools configured to facilitate a user configuration of automatic updates to the media content watch list data in response to performance, by the media content access device, of one or more non-watch-list-specific operations included in a plurality of non-watch-list-specific operations, the one or more tools comprising detecting, by the media content watch list subsystem, a user selection of at least one of the user selectable options corresponding to at least one of the non-watch-list-specific operations included in the list of non-watch-list-specific operations; configuring, by the media content watch list subsystem in response to the user selection of the at least one of the user selectable options corresponding to the at least one of the non-watch-list-specific operations, the at least one of the non-watch-list-specific operations as at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation configured to trigger automatic updating of the media content watch list data in response to a performance of the at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation by the media content access device; detecting, by the media content watch list subsystem, a user selection of at least one of the additional user selectable options corresponding to at least one of the update operations included in the list of update operations; configuring, by the media content watch list subsystem in response to the user selection of the at least one of the additional user selectable options, the at least one of the update operations to be performed in response to the performance of the at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation by the media content access device; detecting, by the media content watch list subsystem, a performance of the at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation by the media content access device; automatically updating, by the media content watch list subsystem in response to the detecting of the performance of the at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation by the media content access device, the media content watch list data by performing the at least one of the update operations; receiving, by the media content watch list subsystem, a request for a media content watch list from the media content access device; generating, by the media content watch list subsystem, the media content watch list based on the updated media content watch list data and the request; and transmitting, by the media content watch list subsystem, data representative of the media content watch list to the media content access device for presentation to the user.
