Abstract
A method of promoting user participation in a social broadcast environment is disclosed. Based on an attribution criterion, it is determined that a user is to receive credit for affecting a broadcast of a content data designated by the user. A user profile data associated with the user is processed to include in a broadcast stream generated for the broadcast an attribution content associated with the user. A method of providing user participation in a social broadcast environment is disclosed. A network communication is received from a user of a broadcast that includes a preference data indicating a preference of the user that a promoted content be included in the broadcast. Via a responsive network communication, a feedback data is provided to the user that includes a predicted future time at which the promoted content may be included in the broadcast. A method of promoting user participation in a social broadcast environment is disclosed. Based on an attribution criterion, it is determined that a user is to receive credit for affecting a broadcast of a content data designated by the user. A processor is used to transform a data associated with the user to include in a broadcast stream generated for the broadcast an attribution content associated with the user.
