System and method for propagating a media item recommendation message comprising recommender presence information
First Claim
1. A method in a hardware based server of propagating a media item recommendation, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by the hardware based server, from a recommender via a network a first media item recommendation message, wherein the first media item recommendation message comprises a media item identifier of a media item and presence information of the recommender;
sending, by the hardware based server, the first media item recommendation message to a first recipient via the network;
receiving, by the hardware based server, via the network a second media item recommendation message from the first recipient, wherein the second media item recommendation message comprises the media item identifier and the presence information of the recommender adapted by the first recipient; and
sending, by the hardware based server, the second media item recommendation message to a second recipient via the network.

Abstract
A system and method for propagating media item recommendation messages on a media item recommendation system is disclosed. A first media item recommendation message comprising a media item identifier and presence information of a recommender is received from the recommender. The first media item recommendation message is sent to a first recipient. A second media item recommendation message comprising the presence information of the recommender adapted by the first recipient is received from the first recipient. The second media item recommendation message is then sent or forwarded to a second recipient. The first recipient may adapt the presence information by including the presence information of the recommender unmodified, by including the presence information of the recommender modified by the first recipient, and/or by including the presence information of the first recipient with or without the presence information of the recommender.
