Abstract
In order to obtain comments about video content (such as a posted video), a subset of users of a social network may be dynamically identified. This subset of users may be relevant to or may have expertise about the video content. For example, the subset of users may be identified based on their user or member profiles and characteristics of the video content. Then, requests may be iteratively provided to the subset of the users to encourage them to comment on the video content, as well as previous comments from the subset of the users. After editing the comments (which may include reordering the comments that are received at different times), the edited comments may be subsequently presented to the users of the social network.
