Abstract

A method of aggregating displays of performances into an aggregate site on a network is provided. The aggregated performances originate from at least one performance site on a network. The method includes the steps of selecting a performance criterion; observing at least one performance originating from at least one performance site on a network, the performance being associated with a link; determining when at least one performance meets the performance criterion; establishing an aggregation link to the link associated with the performance meeting the performance criterion; and providing the aggregation link to an aggregate site on a network such that the performance is accessible on the aggregate site.

Dependent claims

A method of aggregating displays of live streaming performances into an aggregation site on a network, the live streaming performances originating from at least one performance site on a network, the method comprising the steps of:

i) establishing one or more performance criteria upon which live streaming performances selected for aggregation onto an aggregation site on a network, where the one or more performance criteria are acts applied contemporaneously to acts occurring in the live streaming performances;
ii) notifying the aggregation site that a performance meets the one or more performance criteria;
iii) establishing a link associated on the aggregation site with the at least one live streaming performance meeting the one or more performance criteria, wherein step (ii) is carried out in conjunction with a processor that is operatively coupled to a memory for displaying the at least one live streaming performance and for storing the established link on the aggregation site on the network;
and
iv) modifying a position of the at least one live streaming performance on the aggregation site by providing value to the aggregation site in exchange for the position modification.
