Abstract
A computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program publish an audio annotation of a media signal. A media player plays a media signal. The media player then records an audio annotation to the media signal. Responsive to recording the audio annotation to the media signal, the media player records an identifier to be associated with the media signal. The audio annotation is then published to a social networking host.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for publishing an audio annotation comprising the computer implemented steps of:
- playing a media signal;
- recording an audio annotation to the media signal;
- responsive to recording the audio annotation to the media signal, recording an identifier to be associated with the media signal;
- publishing the audio annotation to a social networking host.
A computer-readable medium having a computer program product encoded thereon for publishing an audio annotation, the computer-readable medium having a computer program product encoded thereon comprising:
- computer usable program code for playing a media signal;
- computer usable program code for recording an audio annotation to the media signal;
- computer usable program code, responsive to recording the audio annotation to the media signal, for recording an identifier to be associated with the media signal;
- and
- computer usable program code for publishing the audio annotation to a social networking host.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a communications unit connected to the bus;
- a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device includes computer usable program code for publishing an audio annotation;
- and
- a processor unit connected to the bus, wherein the processor unit executes the computer usable program code to play a media signal;
- to record an audio annotation to the media signal;
- responsive to recording the audio annotation to the media signal, to record an identifier to be associated with the media signal;
- and to publish the audio annotation to a social networking host.
