1. A system comprising:

  • one or more first computing devices; and

    a second computing device;

    wherein the one or more first computing devices comprise;

    one or more first processors; and

    one or more first memories storing first executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the one or more first computing devices to;

    combine data that describes two or more of linear content, non-linear content or managed content to produce, in at least two levels of a hierarchy of levels for a user interface, a blending of user-selectable content that is of the two or more of the linear content, the non-linear content or the managed content;

    send, to the second computing device, the blending of user-selectable content; and

    based on data that indicates one or more user interactions with the blending of user-selectable content, send, to the second computing device, a portion of first content that is of the two or more of the linear content, the non-linear content or the managed content; and

    wherein the second computing device comprises;

    one or more second processors; and

    one or more second computer-readable media storing second executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to;

    cause display of the blending of user selectable content;

    send, to the one or more first computing devices, the data that indicates the one or more user interactions with the blending of user-selectable content; and

    cause display of the portion of the first content.
