Abstract

A method for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising by a user, accessing an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream the application capable of being associated with the user and with a social media application including other users identified with the user the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity, by the user, selecting a channel in the application, by the application, compiling a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user to a selected channel, and by the application, displaying the stream of video clips.

Claims

1. A method for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

by a user, accessing an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

by the user, selecting a channel in the application;

by the application, compiling a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user to a selected channel; and

by the application, displaying the stream of video clips.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying further comprises playing music.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the music is a pre-selected song.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the compiling further comprises randomly selecting video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising

by the user, uploading a video clip to the selected channel in the application.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the compiling further comprises including the video clip uploaded by the user.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of

by an administrator, receiving the video clips uploaded to the selected channel and altering the complied stream of video clips.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the stream is a real time, continuous stream.

9. A method for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

by a user, accessing an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

by the user, selecting a channel in the application;

by the application, compiling a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user and third-party users to a selected channel; and

by the application, displaying the stream of video clips.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the application includes a filter for selecting attributes of video clips that may be compiled, further comprising,

by the user, selecting the filter on the application.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the compiling further comprises randomly selecting video clips from among the video clips having the selected attributes.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the filter selects video clips uploaded by other users identified with the user.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the filter selects a combination of video clips uploaded by other users identified with the user and video clips uploaded by third-party users.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the displaying further comprises playing music.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the music is a pre-selected song.

16. The method of claim 9, further comprising

by the user, uploading a video clip to the selected channel in the application.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the compiling further comprises including the video clip uploaded by the user.

18. The method of claim 9, further comprising the step of

by an administrator, receiving the video clips in the selected channel and altering the complied stream of video clips.

19. A method for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

providing an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

compiling a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user to a selected channel; and

displaying the stream of video clips.

20. A method for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

providing an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

compiling a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user and third-party users to a selected channel; and

displaying the stream of video clips.

21. A system for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

a device for implementing an application for uploading video clips, the device comprising a display, a processor, and a memory;

an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

wherein the application is configured to;

upload a video clip to a selected channel from the memory;

compile a stream of video clips uploaded by the user and by the other users identified with the user to the selected channel; and

display on the display the stream of video clips to the selected channel.

22. A system for displaying a compilation of video clips, comprising:

a device for implementing an application for uploading video clips, the device comprising a display, a processor, and a memory;

an application for uploading video clips and displaying a video stream;

the application capable of being associated

with the user and;

with a social media application including other users identified with the user;

the application further having one or more channels each representing an affinity;

wherein the application is configured to;

upload a video clip to a selected channel from the memory;

compile a stream of video clips uploaded by the other users identified with the user and third-party users to the selected channel; and

display on the display the stream of video clips.

23. A system for displaying a compilation of video clips on a remote user device over a communications network, comprising:

a storage device for storing video clips uploaded by a user and by other users identified with the user via a social media application to a selected channel;

a processor for compiling a stream of video clips stored in the storage device;

a communications module for receiving the uploaded video clips and for transmitting the stream of video clips to the remote user device over the communications network.
