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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein content providers of at least one live streaming performance originating from at least one live performance website notifies the aggregation site that a performance meets the one or more performance criteria by contacting the site. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of providing content providers with software for installation on a personal computer that enables the content providers to tag certain live streaming performances as meeting the one or more performance criteria and notify the aggregation site when such performances have been tagged. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where aggregation site on the network can be notified of an upcoming live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria by a performer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where the aggregation site is notified of an upcoming performance that meets the performance criterion by a third party that is aware of an upcoming live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where the aggregation site is notified of an upcoming live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria by the performance content provider. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where notifying the aggregation site includes notifying the site of the time and web site address where a live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria can be viewed. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where the aggregation site is notified of an upcoming performance that meets published performance criterion by a third party that is aware of an upcoming live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where the aggregation site is notified of an upcoming live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria by the performance content provider. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 where notifying the aggregation site includes notifying the site of the time and web site address where a live streaming performance that meets the one or more performance criteria can be viewed. ### Claim 11 A method of aggregating displays of live performances into an aggregation site on a network, the live 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 performances during the live performances; ii) notifying the aggregation site on the network where the live streaming performances will be aggregated that at least one live streaming performance meets the one or more performance criteria; and iii) establishing a link associated with the at least one live streaming performance meeting the one or more performance criteria into the aggregation site, 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 being observed and for storing the established link on the aggregation site on the network and modifying a position of the at least one live performance on the aggregation site in response to a location associated with the one live performance. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11 includes, modifying a position of display 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. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, includes, modifying the position of the at least one live performance on the aggregation site in response to a location received at the aggregation site.
