1. A method for providing a user interface, comprising:
- creating a representative image of a media content;
making the representative image a movable object on a screen;
monitoring a motion gesture that moves the representative image;
and when the motion gesture moves the representative image partially off the screen so a remaining portion of the representative image is beyond a boundary on the screen, performing a corresponding action;
wherein the action is saving a message, deleting the message, or sending the message over a network to a recipient, the message including the representative image and the media content or a link to the media content;
when the representative image is selected, rotating the representative image at an angle to indicate the representative image is being moved;
when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a first boundary on the screen, saving the message;
when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a second boundary on the screen, deleting the message; and
when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a third boundary, sending the message.

11. A method for a first device to communicate with a second device over a network, comprising:
-
displaying a representative image of a media content on a screen; making the representative image a movable object on the screen; monitoring a motion gesture that moves the representative image; and when the motion gesture moves the representative image partially off the screen so a remaining portion of the representative image is beyond a boundary on the screen, performing a corresponding action; wherein the action is saving a message, deleting the message, or sending the message over a network to a recipient, the message including the representative image and the media content or a link to the media content; when the representative image is selected, rotating the representative image at an angle to indicate the representative image is being moved; when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a first boundary on the screen, saving the message; when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a second boundary on the screen, deleting the message; and when the motion gesture moves the remaining portion of the representative image beyond a third boundary, sending the message; when the message is rejected by the second device, redisplaying the representative image to indicate the message has been rejected.
