Abstract
Content such as a television program can be shared by pushing a content identifier to a queue through a social network. A share request from a sender can designate a recipient for the content. An implementation can determine if the sender and the recipient have permission to share the content. If permitted, an identifier associated with the content can be pushed to a viewing queue of the recipient. A user can subscribe to follow a viewing queue, which can provide to the user access to the queue's listing of content, as well as the content itself.
