Title: Content summation

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     A user may have an interest in watching various types of content, such as a new television show, a particular action movie, a sporting event, etc. However, the user may lack the available time to view content, such as the action movie, in the entirety. Thus, the user may forego watching the action movie, or may seek out summaries or opinions for the action movie. In an example, the user may ask friends, family, and/or others for opinions about the action movie. In another example, the user may read a review of the action movie through a movie review website or application. In another example, the user may record the action movie and/or attempt to skim through scenes of the action movie, such as by fast forwarding to portions that might seem interesting. Unfortunately, the user may be unable to identify relatively interesting portions of the action movie, and thus may forgo consumption of the action movie. 
     SUMMARY 
     In accordance with the present disclosure, one or more systems and/or methods for summarizing content are provided. In an example, the content (e.g., audio content, visual content, written content, etc.) being viewed by a user on a client device may be identified. User signals related to the content may be identified. The user signals may comprise comments related to the content (e.g., “that was great!” or “that was boring”), ratings or reviews for the content (e.g., “the chase scene in the content was epic!”), sharing of the content, operation of the content (e.g., rewinding the content, stopping the content, pausing the content, etc.). An expression of interest (e.g., the user posting a comment about a favorite scene of a comic book movie that the user is currently viewing) may be determined from the user signals, relative to the content. In an example, the expression of interest may comprise a user signal that indicates positive interest in the content (e.g., “that was great” rather than “that was boring”). The expression of interest may be determined by identifying a substance of the user signals and a time that the user signals were created, relative to the content (e.g., the user may post “this is an awesome scene!!” through a social network while watching the comic book movie). 
     An interest threshold may be exceeded by identifying a threshold number of expressions of interest occurring at the time relative to the content (e.g., a threshold number of users may express an interest in the scene of the comic book movie through social networks posts). For example, the interest threshold may be exceeded by identifying a second user and/or other users that generated the expression of interest for the scene. A weight may be applied to the expression of interest, based upon the identification of the second user and/or other users, to create a weighted expression of interest (e.g., a relatively greater weight may be applied to the expression of interest based upon the second user being a well known critic, based upon more users expressing interest in the scene, etc.). The weighted expression of interest may be determined to exceed the interest threshold. Responsive to the expression of interest exceeding the interest threshold, a timestamp may be generated for a portion of the content occurring at the time corresponding to the expression of interest (e.g., the timestamp may indicate that the scene of the comic book movie may be relatively interesting to users). 
     A segment may be extracted from the content based upon the timestamp (e.g., the scene for which the threshold number of users expressed interest). A starting time of the segment may be determined based upon the starting time corresponding to a first transition in the content (e.g., a change in mood, a pause in a conversation, a pause in a monologue, a pause in a song, etc.). The first transition may correspond to a lull time in the content where an output (e.g., audio, visual, etc.) is below a threshold word output rate. The output being below the threshold word output rate may identify a pause in the content (e.g., a time when actors, announcers, etc., are not talking, when no lyrics are being sung, etc.). An ending time of the segment may be determined based upon the ending time corresponding to a second transition in the content (e.g., when the output is below the threshold word output rate). Summary content (e.g., closed captioning, audio output, visual output corresponding to a condensed version of the content, a trailer, etc.) comprising the segment may be generated. Responsive to a second expression of interest exceeding the interest threshold, a second timestamp may be generated for a second portion of the content occurring at a second time corresponding to the second expression of interest. A second segment may be extracted from the content based upon the second timestamp. The summary content may be generated to comprise the segment and the second segment. In this way, summary content may comprise relatively interesting scenes of the action movie, and thus may provide a user with a relatively condensed version of the action movie. 
     One or more messages comprising the expressions of interest may be identified. The one or more messages may be aggregated and presented, with the summary content, to a viewing user. A social media associate of the viewing user may generate social expressions of interest related to the content. The social expression of interest and the summary content may be presented to the viewing user.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Subject matter will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show, by way of illustration, specific example embodiments. This description is not intended as an extensive or detailed discussion of known concepts. Details that are known generally to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may have been omitted, or may be handled in summary fashion. 
     The following subject matter may be embodied in a variety of different forms, such as methods, devices, components, and/or systems. Accordingly, this subject matter is not intended to be construed as limited to any example embodiments set forth herein. Rather, example embodiments are provided merely to be illustrative. Such embodiments may, for example, take the form of hardware, software, firmware or any combination thereof. 
     1. Computing Scenario 
     The following provides a discussion of some types of computing scenarios in which the disclosed subject matter may be utilized and/or implemented. 
     1.1. Networking 
       FIG. 1  is an interaction diagram of a scenario  100  illustrating a service  102  provided by a set of servers  104  to a set of client devices  110  via various types of networks. The servers  104  and/or client devices  110  may be capable of transmitting, receiving, processing, and/or storing many types of signals, such as in memory as physical memory states. 
     The servers  104  of the service  102  may be internally connected via a local area network  106  (LAN), such as a wired network where network adapters on the respective servers  104  are interconnected via cables (e.g., coaxial and/or fiber optic cabling), and may be connected in various topologies (e.g., buses, token rings, meshes, and/or trees). The servers  104  may be interconnected directly, or through one or more other networking devices, such as routers, switches, and/or repeaters. The servers  104  may utilize a variety of physical networking protocols (e.g., Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel) and/or logical networking protocols (e.g., variants of an Internet Protocol (IP), a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and/or a User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The local area network  106  may include, e.g., analog telephone lines, such as a twisted wire pair, a coaxial cable, full or fractional digital lines including T1, T2, T3, or T4 type lines, Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDNs), Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs), wireless links including satellite links, or other communication links or channels, such as may be known to those skilled in the art. The local area network  106  may be organized according to one or more network architectures, such as server/client, peer-to-peer, and/or mesh architectures, and/or a variety of roles, such as administrative servers, authentication servers, security monitor servers, data stores for objects such as files and databases, business logic servers, time synchronization servers, and/or front-end servers providing a user-facing interface for the service  102 . 
     Likewise, the local area network  106  may comprise one or more sub-networks, such as may employ differing architectures, may be compliant or compatible with differing protocols and/or may interoperate within the local area network  106 . Additionally, a variety of local area networks  106  may be interconnected; e.g., a router may provide a link between otherwise separate and independent local area networks  106 . 
     In the scenario  100  of  FIG. 1 , the local area network  106  of the service  102  is connected to a wide area network  108  (WAN) that allows the service  102  to exchange data with other services  102  and/or client devices  110 . The wide area network  108  may encompass various combinations of devices with varying levels of distribution and exposure, such as a public wide-area network (e.g., the Internet) and/or a private network (e.g., a virtual private network (VPN) of a distributed enterprise). 
     In the scenario  100  of  FIG. 1 , the service  102  may be accessed via the wide area network  108  by a user  112  of one or more client devices  110 , such as a portable media player (e.g., an electronic text reader, an audio device, or a portable gaming, exercise, or navigation device); a portable communication device (e.g., a camera, a phone, a wearable or a text chatting device); a workstation; and/or a laptop form factor computer. The respective client devices  110  may communicate with the service  102  via various connections to the wide area network  108 . As a first such example, one or more client devices  110  may comprise a cellular communicator and may communicate with the service  102  by connecting to the wide area network  108  via a wireless local area network  106  provided by a cellular provider. As a second such example, one or more client devices  110  may communicate with the service  102  by connecting to the wide area network  108  via a wireless local area network  106  provided by a location such as the user&#39;s home or workplace (e.g., a WiFi network or a Bluetooth personal area network). In this manner, the servers  104  and the client devices  110  may communicate over various types of networks. Other types of networks that may be accessed by the servers  104  and/or client devices  110  include mass storage, such as network attached storage (NAS), a storage area network (SAN), or other forms of computer or machine readable media. 
     1.2. Server Configuration 
       FIG. 2  presents a schematic architecture diagram  200  of a server  104  that may utilize at least a portion of the techniques provided herein. Such a server  104  may vary widely in configuration or capabilities, alone or in conjunction with other servers, in order to provide a service such as the service  102 . 
     The server  104  may comprise one or more processors  210  that process instructions. The one or more processors  210  may optionally include a plurality of cores; one or more coprocessors, such as a mathematics coprocessor or an integrated graphical processing unit (GPU); and/or one or more layers of local cache memory. The server  104  may comprise memory  202  storing various forms of applications, such as an operating system  204 ; one or more server applications  206 , such as a hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) server, a file transfer protocol (FTP) server, or a simple mail transport protocol (SMTP) server; and/or various forms of data, such as a database  208  or a file system. The server  104  may comprise a variety of peripheral components, such as a wired and/or wireless network adapter  214  connectible to a local area network and/or wide area network; one or more storage components  216 , such as a hard disk drive, a solid-state storage device (SSD), a flash memory device, and/or a magnetic and/or optical disk reader. 
     The server  104  may comprise a mainboard featuring one or more communication buses  212  that interconnect the processor  210 , the memory  202 , and various peripherals, using a variety of bus technologies, such as a variant of a serial or parallel AT Attachment (ATA) bus protocol; a Uniform Serial Bus (USB) protocol; and/or Small Computer System Interface (SCI) bus protocol. In a multibus scenario, a communication bus  212  may interconnect the server  104  with at least one other server.

     The server  104  may operate in various physical enclosures, such as a desktop or tower, and/or may be integrated with a display as an “all-in-one” device. The server  104  may be mounted horizontally and/or in a cabinet or rack, and/or may simply comprise an interconnected set of components. The server  104  may comprise a dedicated and/or shared power supply  218  that supplies and/or regulates power for the other components. The server  104  may provide power to and/or receive power from another server and/or other devices. The server  104  may comprise a shared and/or dedicated climate control unit  220  that regulates climate properties, such as temperature, humidity, and/or airflow. Many such servers  104  may be configured and/or adapted to utilize at least a portion of the techniques presented herein. 
     1.3. Client Device Configuration 
       FIG. 3  presents a schematic architecture diagram  300  of a client device  110  whereupon at least a portion of the techniques presented herein may be implemented. Such a client device  110  may vary widely in configuration or capabilities, in order to provide a variety of functionality to a user such as the user  112 . The client device  110  may be provided in a variety of form factors, such as a desktop or tower workstation; an “all-in-one” device integrated with a display  308 ; a laptop, tablet, convertible tablet, or palmtop device; a wearable device mountable in a headset, eyeglass, earpiece, and/or wristwatch, and/or integrated with an article of clothing; and/or a component of a piece of furniture, such as a tabletop, and/or of another device, such as a vehicle or residence. The client device  110  may serve the user in a variety of roles, such as a workstation, kiosk, media player, gaming device, and/or appliance. 
     The client device  110  may comprise one or more processors  310  that process instructions. The one or more processors  310  may optionally include a plurality of cores; one or more coprocessors, such as a mathematics coprocessor or an integrated graphical processing unit (GPU); and/or one or more layers of local cache memory. The client device  110  may comprise memory  301  storing various forms of applications, such as an operating system  303 ; one or more user applications  302 , such as document applications, media applications, file and/or data access applications, communication applications such as web browsers and/or email clients, utilities, and/or games; and/or drivers for various peripherals. The client device  110  may comprise a variety of peripheral components, such as a wired and/or wireless network adapter  306  connectible to a local area network and/or wide area network; one or more output components, such as a display  308  coupled with a display adapter (optionally including a graphical processing unit (GPU)), a sound adapter coupled with a speaker, and/or a printer; input devices for receiving input from the user, such as a keyboard  311 , a mouse, a microphone, a camera, and/or a touch-sensitive component of the display  308 ; and/or environmental sensors, such as a global positioning system (GPS) receiver  319  that detects the location, velocity, and/or acceleration of the client device  110 , a compass, accelerometer, and/or gyroscope that detects a physical orientation of the client device  110 . Other components that may optionally be included with the client device  110  (though not shown in the schematic diagram  300  of  FIG. 3 ) include one or more storage components, such as a hard disk drive, a solid-state storage device (SSD), a flash memory device, and/or a magnetic and/or optical disk reader; and/or a flash memory device that may store a basic input/output system (BIOS) routine that facilitates booting the client device  110  to a state of readiness; and a climate control unit that regulates climate properties, such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. 
     The client device  110  may comprise a mainboard featuring one or more communication buses  312  that interconnect the processor  310 , the memory  301 , and various peripherals, using a variety of bus technologies, such as a variant of a serial or parallel AT Attachment (ATA) bus protocol; the Uniform Serial Bus (USB) protocol; and/or the Small Computer System Interface (SCI) bus protocol. The client device  110  may comprise a dedicated and/or shared power supply  318  that supplies and/or regulates power for other components, and/or a battery  304  that stores power for use while the client device  110  is not connected to a power source via the power supply  318 . The client device  110  may provide power to and/or receive power from other client devices. 
     In some scenarios, as a user  112  interacts with a software application on a client device  110  (e.g., a web browser or live video application), descriptive content in the form of signals or stored physical states within memory (e.g., an email address, instant messenger identifier, phone number, postal address, message content, date, and/or time) may be identified. Descriptive content may be stored, typically along with contextual content. The client device  110  may include one or more servers that may locally serve the client device  110  and/or other client devices of the user  112  and/or other individuals. For example, a locally installed webserver may provide web content in response to locally submitted web requests. Many such client devices  110  may be configured and/or adapted to utilize at least a portion of the techniques presented herein. 
     2. Presented Techniques 
     One or more systems and/or techniques for summarizing, tagging and/or indexing content are provided. Some traditional summarizing techniques may lack an effective mechanism to identify interesting portions of content (e.g., audio content, visual content, written content, etc.), making summarization of the content incomplete and/or uninteresting. 
     As provided herein, summary content may be generated for content, such as a movie or video, based upon commentary provided by users that are viewing the content. For example, a user may be watching a documentary. While watching the documentary, the user may publish a social network post “this scene is amazing” and/or may perform other expressions of interest for the documentary (e.g., generating a comment, text messaging a friend about the scene, sharing a link to the documentary, etc.). In this way, segments of the content that may be relatively interesting may be identified based upon when the expressions of interest occur relative to the user viewing the documentary. In this way, the summary content may comprise relatively interesting portions of the documentary that may highlight and/or summarize the documentary for users that may otherwise lack the time to view the documentary in the entirety. 
       FIG. 4  is an illustration of a component block diagram illustrating an example system  400  for content summation utilizing a summation component  410 . A user may view content  404  (e.g., audio content, visual content, written content, etc.) on a client device  402 . In an example, the user may be watching a Superhero Movie on a laptop computer. The user may generate a user signal  408  related to the content  404 . In an example, the user signal  408  may comprise a post to a social network, a text message, scrubbing the content  404 , leaving a comment, etc.). The content  404  and the user signal  408  may be provided to the summation component  410 . In an example, the user signal  408  and/or the content  404  may comprise an expression of interest  412 . In an example, the expression of interest  412  may comprise comments related to the content  404 , ratings or reviews for the content  404 , sharing of the content  404 , operation of the content  404  (e.g., rewinding the content  404 , pausing the content  404 , stopping the content  404 , etc.). In an example, the user may post a comment stating “wow, did you see that!” referring to a portion of the Superhero movie where an epic battle is occurring. 
     The expression of interest  412  may be determined by identifying substance of the user signal  408  (e.g., whether the substance of the user signal  408  is positive or negative relative to the content). For example, based upon the comment being negative (e.g., “well, that was boring”) the comment may not comprise the expression of interest  412  (e.g., because the comment is not indicative of an interesting portion of the content  404 ). In an example, the user signal  408  may be determined to be negative based upon the user abandoning the Superhero movie, stopping the Superhero movie, closing the application in which the user is viewing the Superhero movie, leaving a webpage on which the user is viewing the Superhero movie, etc. In contrast, a positive comment (e.g., “wow, did you see that!”) and/or replaying a portion of the Superhero movie may be indicative of an interesting portion of the content  404 . The summation component  410  may determine a time that the expression of interest  412  was created relative to the content  404  (e.g., the user may have created the comment “wow, did you see that!” at a 2 hour and 20 minute mark of the Superhero movie). 
     In an example, an interest threshold may be exceeded  414  by identifying a threshold number of expressions of interest  412  occurring at the time relative to the content  404 . In another example, if the interest threshold specifies that 10 expressions of interest or more are to occur within a time period (e.g., a 3 minute period, or some other time period), then the interest threshold may be not be exceeded  416  where merely 2 expressions of interest are created between 55 minutes to 58 minutes relative to a starting time of the content  404 . Responsive to a number of expressions of interest not exceeding  416  the interest threshold, no timestamp  424  may be generated. 
     In an example, if the interest threshold specifies that 25 expressions of interest or more are to occur within the time period, then the interest threshold may be exceeded  414  based upon 30 expressions of interest being created between about 20 minutes to about 22 minutes relative to the starting time of the content  404 . The interest threshold may be exceeded  414  by identifying a second user and/or other users generating the expression of interest  412 . The summation component  410  may apply a weight to the expression of interest  412 , based upon the identification of the second user and/or other users, to create a weighted expression of interest (e.g., the second user may be a critic, registered user, a trusted user, etc.). 
     The summation component  410  may apply the weight to the expression of interest  412  based upon a type of expression (e.g., sharing of the content  404 , commenting on the content  404 , replaying of the content  404 , etc.). In an example, the weight may be based upon an intended viewing user. In an example, the weight may be altered based upon the intended viewing user comprising a child, an adult, a viewing user residing in a particular part of a country, (e.g., a southern part of the country, a western part of the country, etc.), etc. For example, responsive to the intended viewing user residing in the southern part of the county, a comment generated by a southern user residing in the southern part of the country may be weighted more highly than a comment by a northern user residing in a northern part of the country. 
     In another example, if the interest threshold specifies that 10 expressions of interest or more are to occur within the time period, then the interest threshold may be not be exceeded  416  based upon 6 expressions of interest being created within the timeframe. However, the interest threshold may be exceeded  414  if one or more of the 6 expressions of interest comprise weighted expressions of interest that provide for an overall weighted number of expressions that exceed the interest threshold  414 . For example, if one of the 6 expressions of interest  412  is weighed at a 5× weight (e.g., that one expression of interest  412  may be counted as 5 expressions of interest), then the total number of expressions of interest  412  may equal 11, which may exceed  414  the interest threshold. Responsive to the expression of interest exceeding  414  the interest threshold, a timestamp  418  may be generated for a portion of the content  404  occurring at the time corresponding to the expression of interest  412  (e.g., the comment may have been created 20 minutes into the movie). 
     In an example, 10 portions of the content  404  may be identified as comprising 10 interesting portions of the content. In an example, the 10 interesting portions of the content  404  may be identified based on the 10 interesting portions having a higher weighted score as compared to all portions of the content  404  having a weighted score. For example, a first interesting portion may have a first weighted score (e.g., a highest weighted score), a second interesting portion may have a second weighted score (e.g., a second highest weighted score), etc. Responsive to identifying the 10 interesting portions of the content  404  based upon weighted scores, 10 corresponding timestamps may be identified. 
     The summation component  410  may extract a segment  420  from the content  404  based upon the timestamp  418 . A starting time of the segment  420  may be determined based upon the starting time corresponding to a first transition in the content (e.g., a breaking point in the content, such as an end of a scene or a lull in an action scene). The first transition may correspond to a lull time in the content  404  where an output (e.g., audio, visual, etc.) is below a threshold word output rate. The output being below the threshold word output rate may identify a pause in the content  404  (e.g., a time when actors, announcers, etc., are not talking, when no lyrics are being sung, etc.). In an example, the timestamp  418  may indicate that the portion starts at 45 minutes 21 seconds (45:21). In an example, if the content  404  comprises a sporting event, then 45:21 may denote an excellent catch. However, the user may find it interesting to see the throw (e.g., the starting time of the segment  420  may be at the start of a play). Additionally, 45:21 may interrupt an announcer, referee, etc. mid-word or mid-sentence, rendering a segment starting at 45:21 confusing. The summation component  410  may alter the starting time of the segment  420 , relative to the starting time of the portion, to expand the segment in order to mitigate interruptions and/or confusion (e.g., by utilizing a scene detection algorithm, a feature based algorithm, etc.). An ending time of the segment  420  may be determined based upon the ending time corresponding to a second transition (e.g., an end to a scene of the segment, when the output is below the threshold word output rate, etc.). 
     The summation component  410  may generate summary content  422  (e.g., closed captioning, audio output, and/or visual output corresponding to the segment, a trailer, a condensed version of the content  404 , etc.) comprising the segment  420 . The summation component  410  may present the summary content  422  to a viewing user. 
       FIG. 5  is an illustration of a component block diagram illustrating an example system  500  for content summation utilizing a summation component  510 . A user may view visual content  504  on a client device  502 . The user may rewind  506  the content  504  (e.g., from a time of 24 minutes and 45 seconds (24:45) to a time of 20 minutes and 23 seconds (20:23)). An operation of the content  512  (e.g., the rewind  506 ) may be provided to the summation component  510 . The summation component  510  may identify the operation of the content  512  as an expression of interest. For example, the user rewinding  506  the visual content  504  may indicate that a first portion of the visual content  504  may have been interesting (e.g., because the user found the first portion interesting enough that the user wanted to watch it twice). In an example, fast forwarding through a second portion may be indicative that the second portion is uninteresting. The summation component  510  may determine that the fast forward comprises a negative action and is not an expression of interest. In an example, the summation component  510  may be provided with one or more additional expressions of interest between 20:23 and 24:45. The summation component  510  may determine that the operation of the content  512  and/or the one or more additional expressions of interest exceed  514  an interest threshold. 
     Responsive to the expression of interest exceeding  514  the interest threshold, a timestamp  518  may be generated for a portion of the visual content  504  occurring at the time corresponding to the expression of interest. The summation component  510  may extract a segment  520  from the visual content  504  based upon the timestamp  518  (e.g., the segment  520  may correspond to the first portion of the visual content  504  that the user watched twice). The summation component  510  may generate summary content  522  comprising the segment  520 . 
       FIG. 6  illustrates a graphical representation  600  comprising numbers of expressions of interest on a y-axis  628  and time corresponding to playtime of the content on an x-axis  630 . In an example, the content may have a duration of 120 minutes. The time may correspond to a running time of the content (e.g., from 0 minutes to 120 minutes). A solid line  616  may represent a linear function corresponding to the number of expressions of interest relative to the time. A dashed line  602  may represent an interest threshold. A first peak  604  in the solid line  616  may not exceed the interest threshold. A second peak  606  may exceed the interest threshold. In an example, the second peak  604  may exceed the interest threshold at 20 minutes and drop below the interest threshold at 36 minutes (e.g., a threshold number of users may express interest in the content between 20 and 36 minutes into the content, such as by posting positive social network posts about the content). A first portion  618  of the content may be identified based upon a first duration (e.g., relative to the time) that the second peak  606  remains over the interest threshold. 
     In an example, responsive to a second expression of interest exceeding the interest threshold (e.g., a third peak  608 ), a second time (e.g., between 48 minutes to 52 minutes) may be generated for a second portion  620  of the content. The second portion  620  may be identified based upon a second duration that the third peak  608  remains over the interest threshold. In an example, a fourth peak  610  may exceed the interest threshold at 72 minutes and drop below the interest threshold at 74 minutes. A third portion  622  may be identified based upon a third duration that the fourth peak  610  remains over the interest threshold. In an example, a fifth peak  612  may exceed the interest threshold at 76 minutes and drop below the interest threshold at 84 minutes. A fourth portion  624  may be identified based upon a fourth duration that the fifth peak  612  remains over the interest threshold. A sixth peak  614  may not exceed the interest threshold. 
     The first portion  618  may be extracted from the content as a first segment  618   a , the second portion  620  may be extracted from the content as a second segment  620   a , the third portion  622  may be extracted from the content as a third segment  622   a  and/or the fourth portion  624  may be extracted from the content as a fourth segment  624   a . The segments  618   a ,  620   a ,  622   a ,  624   a  may be combined to generate summary content  626 . In this way, a user may view the summary content  626  in order to watch relatively interesting portions of the content (e.g., 10 minutes of highlights). 
       FIG. 7  is an illustration of a component block diagram illustrating an example system  700  for content summation utilizing a summation component  710 , where one or more messages are aggregated. A user viewing content, on a client device  702 , may generate a comment  704  (e.g., “did you see that in Superhero Movie”) and a second user viewing the content, on a second client device  706 , may generate a second comment  708  (e.g., “Superhero Movie is awesome”). The summation component  710  may identify  712  the comment  704  and the second comment  708 . In an example, the summation component  710  may identify the comment  704  as corresponding to a segment of the content, and the second comment as corresponding to a second segment of the content. The summation component  710  may aggregate  714  the comment  704  and the second comment  708  to create summary content  718 . The summation component  710  may provide the comment  704 , the second comment  708 , and/or the summary content  718  to a viewing user through a third client device  716 . In an example, the comment  704 , corresponding to the segment, may be presented to the viewing user before, during, and/or after the segment is presented, and the second comment  708 , corresponding to the second segment, may be presented to the viewing user before, during, and/or after the second segment is presented. In an example, the comment  704  and/or the second comment  708  may be presented to the viewing user at a same/similar time. 
       FIG. 8  is an illustration of a component block diagram illustrating an example system  800  for content summation utilizing a summation component  810 , where a social media associate  804  (e.g., a social network friend) of a viewing user is identified. The social media associate of the viewing user may be viewing content on a client device  802 . The social media associate  804  may generate a social expression of interest  806  in the content (e.g., a social network post expressing interest in the content). The social expression of interest  806  may be identified  812  by the summation component  810 . The summation component  810  may provide the social expression of interest  806  (e.g., “Wow, that was awesome!”), along with summary content  818  to the viewing user on a viewing client device  816 . The social expression of interest  806  may be presented with a segment that corresponded to a timestamp associated with the social expression of interest  806  (e.g., when the social expression of interest  806  was generated). 
     An embodiment of content summation is illustrated by an example method  900  of  FIG. 9 . At  902 , the method  900  starts. At  904 , content, being viewed by a user, may be identified. At  906 , user signals, related to the content, may be identified. The user signals may be generated by the user (e.g., a social network post). At  908 , an expression of interest may be determined, from the user signals, relative to the content (e.g., the social network post may express an interest of the user in the content). At  910 , responsive to the expression of interest exceeding an interest threshold, a timestamp may be generated for a portion of the content. At  912 , a segment may be extracted from the content based on the timestamp. At  914 , summary content may be generated based upon the segment. At  916 , the summary content may be provided to a viewing user. At  918 , the method  900  ends. 
       FIG. 10  is an illustration of a scenario  1000  involving an example nontransitory memory device  1002 . The nontransitory memory device  1002  may comprise instructions that when executed perform at least some of the provisions herein. The nontransitory memory device may comprise a memory semiconductor (e.g., a semiconductor utilizing static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and/or synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) technologies), a platter of a hard disk drive, a flash memory device, or a magnetic or optical disc (such as a CD, DVD, or floppy disk). The example nontransitory memory device  1002  stores computer-readable data  1004  that, when subjected to reading  1006  by a reader  1010  of a device  1008  (e.g., a read head of a hard disk drive, or a read operation invoked on a solid-state storage device), express processor-executable instructions  1012 . In some embodiments, the processor-executable instructions, when executed on a processor  1016  of the device  1008 , are configured to perform a method, such as at least some of the example method  900  of  FIG. 9 , for example. In some embodiments, the processor-executable instructions, when executed on the processor  1016  of the device  1008 , are configured to implement a system, such as at least some of the example system  400  of  FIG. 4 , at least some of the example system  500  of  FIG. 5 , at least some of the example system  600  of  FIG. 6 , at least some of the example system  700  of  FIG. 7 , and/or at least some of the example system  800  of  FIG. 8 , for example.
