Abstract
The system of the invention comprises creating a bookmark file for a multimedia content file where the bookmark file includes a URL or other address identifier for the content file and a bookmark pointer that identifies a specific location within the content file. To share the selected content with a second user on a second user device, the bookmark file is sent to the second user device where it may be accessed by the second user device to allow the second user device to begin consuming the content at the point set by the bookmark pointer at the first user device. The bookmark file is accessed and the URL or other addressing data is used to access the content file on a content server. The bookmark pointer controls the content displayed.
