The present invention further relates to a community network connecting a Client with a unified host system in which a host provides viewers with content and social networking, and provides content providers (including advertisers and sponsors) with a mode of distributing, advertising and sponsoring content as well as using social networking for analytics results. The unified host system may be accessed by viewers and content providers through the interactive interface.
