Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods and user interfaces that allow a user to identify, annotate and share a portion of a media item with another user. Through the user interface, the user may render a media item and identify a segment of the media item. Based on the media item, previously defined and shared segments may be suggested to the user allowing the user to quickly select and identify popular segments for sharing. In addition, previously used annotations of previously defined and shared segments may be suggested to the user allowing users to quickly select annotations. The sharing user may then issue a command that causes a link or other means for accessing the segment to be transmitted to a recipient. Accessing this link or other means, causes the segment defined by the sharing user to be rendered on the recipient'"'"'s device.
