Abstract:

Systems and methods are described that allow a user to mix multiple sources of multimedia content from the Web, such as social network accounts, RSS feeds, and other sources of multi-media content. Each of the sources of content, independent of the format and content, is transformed into a homogeneous content container called a frame, and the frames are organized into a cycling chain of content referred to as a stream. The streams are displayed in real-time on a client device as customized multi-media streams. Users can share frames and/or streams with other users.
