Abstract
Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for providing a social interface for sharing media experience information between households in a community. Users of different households may form the community. The social interface may be provided as an application on a mobile device or an Internet webpage as a portal to the community. The social interface may display a list of households, and a user of the interface may select a household from the list to view information on media being experienced within the household. The selected household may include separate groups of media players configured to render media in synchrony, and the social interface may display, upon selection of the household, a list of the separate groups included in the selected household. The user may then select a group from the list, among other actions, view information on media being rendered by the media players in the selected group.
