System and methods for the cluster of media

A system comprising:

• a non-transitory memory storing a plurality of machine-executable instructions for clustering of media;
• and
• one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read the machine-executable instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• selecting a media search source via a user interface;
• providing a form-based interface that allows an entry of inputs to form a media search query, wherein the form-based interface comprises at least an authentication interface, and wherein the media search query uses at least a third-party hosting service for user photos;
• submitting the media search query to the media search source comprising account-based modules for the third party hosting service, wherein the authentication interface authenticates a user for an account with the third-party hosting service;
• receiving a media search result for viewing on the user interface based on the media search query, the media search result comprising media items from at least the account of the third-party hosting service;
• displaying the media search result in a collection depository on the user interface;
• clustering the media items dynamically through a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed into one or more stacks having a variable number of the media items, wherein the variable number is selectable by the user through the user interface;
• processing the clustered media items based on a data size of each of the media items to generate edited clustered media items;
• generating a storyboard comprising the edited clustered media items;
• receiving a user-selected presentation comprising a plurality of different styles, wherein the plurality of different styles comprises at least two of a picture frame, a television, a billboard, a tree, a postcard, a kaleidoscope, a landscape, and a street scene, for a visual presentation;
• automatically populating the user-selected presentation with the storyboard of the edited clustered media items, wherein the edited clustered media items automatically populate within a viewing window of a corresponding one of the plurality of different styles;
• and
• storing the media search query as a custom category created by the user, wherein the custom category comprises a user created feed having a title, a category, and an XML-based persistence of the inputs to form the media search query, wherein selection of a tab for the custom category resubmits the media search query using the user created feed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• selecting a media search source via a user interface;
• providing a form-based interface that allows an entry of inputs to form a media search query, wherein the form-based interface comprises at least an authentication interface, and wherein the media search query uses at least a third-party hosting service for user photos;
• submitting the media search query to the media search source comprising account-based modules for the third party hosting service, wherein the authentication interface authenticates a user for an account with the third-party hosting service;
• receiving a media search result for viewing on the user interface based on the media search query, the media search result comprising media items from at least the account of the third-party hosting service;
• displaying the media search result in a collection depository on the user interface;
• clustering the media items dynamically through a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed into one or more stacks having a variable number of the media items, wherein the variable number is selectable by the user through the user interface;
