A system for providing interactive collaboration, the system comprising:

• a content database configured to store digital content created by users;
• an organizational database configured to store representations of relationships between the digital content stored in the content database and the users;
• an interface configured to provide access to the content by other users and to enable the other users to provide feedback to the content, the interface providing access via (i) a uniform resource locator (URL) link to a website associated with the organizational database or (ii) embedded code on a website that is remote from the URL used to create content or generate related embeddable code tracked by one or more organizational databases;
• and
• a processor in communication with the databases and the interface, the processor configured to implement an intermediary layer between the databases and the interface, the intermediary layer configured to control which users can access the content, update content simultaneously across all parts of the interface, store the feedback in the databases in a parent-child relationship with the video content, and, when providing digital content to the interface, access one or more of the databases to determine additional content that is feedback to the content.

A method of sourcing content, the method comprising:

• enabling a user to create or deposit content by a subject person in connection with a given topic;

• enabling one or more other users to access and contribute to the content via a content collection and distribution channel by selection of the given topic or a different topic linked to the given topic;
• and
• facilitating public or private distribution, disablement, or retraction of the content via the content collection and distribution channel as a function of at least the distribution control indicator.
