1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, a plurality of user-generated comments associated with media content, wherein the plurality of user-generated comments are annotated to the media content during presentations of the media content by a group of communication devices;
identifying, by the system, from the plurality of user-generated comments a cluster of comments associated with a segment of the media content based on satisfaction of a threshold number of comments for the segment;
filtering, by the system, the cluster of comments based on subject matter to generate a filtered cluster of comments;
identifying, by the system, a sample segment according to a range of the segment of the media content that is to be transmitted to a recipient device; and
transmitting, by the system, the filtered cluster of comments and the sample segment to the recipient device.

19. A computer-readable storage device, comprising computer instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of user-generated comments associated with media content, wherein the plurality of user-generated comments are annotated to the media content via a time line presented with the media content, and wherein the media content is presented by a group of communication devices; identifying from the plurality of user-generated comments a cluster of comments associated with a segment of the media content based on satisfaction of a comment threshold; filtering the cluster of comments based on a filtering parameter to generate a filtered cluster of comments; selecting a sample segment according to a defined range of the segment; and transmitting the filtered cluster of comments and the sample segment to a recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
