Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a system comprising a processor, an annotation from a first communication device of a first member of a group, wherein the annotation corresponds to media content, wherein the annotation is received over a communications network; adding, by the system, the annotation to a database; accessing, by the system, a list of members of the group, each member of the group having a user profile stored in memory; selecting, by the system, in response to the receiving of the annotation from the first communication device of the first member of the group, a media segment from the media content that corresponds to the annotation, wherein the media content includes the media segment, wherein a length of the media segment is determined by the system, without receiving input from a user, based on a default content length that is adjusted based on a number of annotations made by the group that corresponds to the media segment, the length of the media segment being increased based on an increase in other annotations provided by other members of the group, wherein each of the annotations is within the default content length; and sending, by the system, in response to the receiving of the annotation from the first communication device of the first member of the group and a preference stored in the user profile of a second member of the group, a notification to a second communication device of the second member of the group, wherein the notification comprises the annotation and a media stream comprising the media segment of the media content to which the annotation corresponds.
