Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an automated scheme for identifying high/low value content. Playback behavior of users in the social network is passively collected either continuously or periodically. The playback data indicates portions of content, such as audio or video, that the user has skipped over, repeated, paused, etc. The playback data is then aggregated and analyzed and various segments are determined. In addition, the playback data may be compiled and organized among the users for future use. The playback data may be used to indicate segments of high/low interest to peers in the social network or to arbitrary users.
