Time-sensitive content update

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media in one or more computing systems, the one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic that is operable when executed to:

• determine available media content from one or more content sources;
• access a graph comprising:
• a plurality of first nodes that are each associated with a respective user;
• a plurality of second nodes that are each associated with a respective show or movie;
• and
• a plurality of edges connecting the first nodes and the second nodes, each particular edge indicating that a particular user corresponding to a particular first node previously watched, liked, shared, or commented on a particular show or movie corresponding to a particular second node;
• provide at least a portion of the available media content in a programming guide on a display device, the programming guide comprising:
• a plurality of entries, each entry associated with one of the available media content;
• and
• social content as determined from the graph;
• and
• update, in response to selection of a user-selectable update option, the programming guide to display one or more new entries that are each associated with new available media content, the user-selectable update option comprising a graphical touch-input element displayed on a touch-sensitive portion of the display device, the touch-input element comprising a message indicating that updates to the programming guide are available;
• automatically update the programming guide a pre-defined amount of time after a previous update of the programming guide;
• automatically update the programming guide a pre-defined amount of time before each half hour;
• and
• automatically update the programming guide in response to a pre-defined amount of time of inactivity with respect to user interaction with the programming guide.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memory devices;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more memory devices, the processor operable to:
• determine available media content from one or more content sources;
• access a graph comprising:
• a plurality of first nodes that are each associated with a respective user;
• a plurality of second nodes that are each associated with a respective show or movie;
• and
• a plurality of edges connecting the first nodes and the second nodes, each particular edge indicating that a particular user corresponding to a particular first node previously watched, liked, shared, or commented on a particular show or movie corresponding to a particular second node;
• provide at least a portion of the available media content in a programming guide on a display device, the programming guide comprising:
• a plurality of entries, each entry associated with one of the available media content;
• and
• social content as determined from the graph;
• and
• update, in response to selection of a user-selectable update option, the programming guide to display one or more new entries that are each associated with new available media content, the user-selectable update option comprising a graphical touch-input element displayed on a touch-sensitive portion of the display device, the touch-input element comprising a message indicating that updates to the programming guide are available;
• automatically update the programming guide a pre-defined amount of time after a previous update of the programming guide;
• automatically update the programming guide a pre-defined amount of time before each half hour;
• and
• automatically update the programming guide in response to a pre-defined amount of time of inactivity with respect to user interaction with the programming guide.
