Identifying video files of a video file storage system having relevance to a first file

A method for a server to identify video files having relevance to a first file, comprising:

• receiving, by the server, a plurality of video files, wherein the plurality of video files were generated by a subject matter search;
• generating, by the server, a list of inquiries based on the plurality of video files, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in the subject matter search that generated the plurality of video files;
• providing, by the server, the list of inquiries to a creator of the first file, wherein the first file is a one of the plurality of video files;
• receiving, by the server, from the creator at least one response to the list of inquiries;
• selecting, by the server, a subset of the plurality of video files based on the at least one response;
• storing, by the server, the selected subset of the plurality of video files for access if the first file is selected
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of video files to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one creator to the user.

A system for identifying video files having relevance to a first file, comprising:

• a server configured to present on a first display a list of inquiries to an identified creator of a first file, wherein the list of inquiries is based on a plurality of video files;
• the server configured to receive from the identified creator at least one response to the list of inquiries, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the plurality of video files;
• the server configured to select a subset of the plurality of video files based on the at least one response;
• a server configured to present on a second display the selected subset of the plurality of video files to a user that selects the first file, and to identify the at least one creator to the user.

A programmable storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions when executed by the machine to perform a method of identifying video files of a video file storage system having relevance to a first file, the method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of video files within the video file storage system, wherein the plurality of video files each have a relationship with the first file, wherein the video file storage system provides a platform for storing and sharing videos, and each video file includes a video and associated information;
• generating, by a system server, a list of inquiries based on the plurality of video files, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the plurality of video files;
• providing, by the system server, the list of inquiries to at least one creator of the first file;
• receiving from the at least one creator at least one response to the list of inquiries;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of video files based on the at least one response;
• storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of video files for access if the first file is selected;
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of video files to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one creator to the user.

A method of identifying video files of a video file storage system having relevance to a first file, comprising:

• identifying a plurality of video files within the video file storage system, wherein the plurality of video files each have a relationship with the first file, wherein the video file storage system provides a platform for storing and sharing videos, and each video file includes a video and associated information;
• generating, by a system server, a first list of inquiries based on the plurality of video files;
• providing, by the system server, the first list of inquiries to at least one creator of the first file, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the plurality of video files;
• receiving from the at least one creator of the plurality of video files at least one first response to the first list of inquiries;
• generating, by the system server, a second list of inquiries based on the plurality of video files;
• providing, by the system server, the second list of inquiries to at least one second creator of the plurality of video files;
• receiving from the at least one second creator of the plurality of video files at least one second response to the second list of inquiries;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of video files based on the at least one first response and the at least one second response;
• storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of video files for access if the first file is selected;
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of video files to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one creator or the at least one second creator to the user.
