Systems and methods for sharing interactive media guidance information

A system for sharing interactive media guidance application information, the system comprising:

• a storage device;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• receive, from a first user, a selection of a first function to perform on a given media, wherein the first function is associated with a first visual representation;
• receive, from a second user, a selection of a second function to perform on the given media, wherein the second function includes functionality different from functionality offered by the first function, wherein the second function is associated with a second visual representation;
• store, in the storage device at a server, in association with the first user, a first indication of the given media in association with the first function, and store, in the storage device at the server, in association with the second user, a second indication of the given media in association with the second function;
• identify a similarity between the first indication and the second indication based on the first indication and the second indication both corresponding to the given media;
• identify a difference between the first indication and the second indication based on the first indication and the second indication both corresponding to different functions to perform on the given media;
• and
• automatically, in response to identifying the similarity and the difference, generate for simultaneous display a visual indication that indicates (1) the similarity, (2) the difference, and (3) the identity of the second user, wherein the visual indication indicates the difference by presenting, separately from indicating the identity of the second user, the first visual representation of the first function and the second visual representation of the second function, the generating for display simultaneous display further comprising:
• generating for display a first window, the first window including:
• the first indication,
• a first visual indicator with a first media asset identifier in the first window that corresponds to an identical media asset selected by the first and second users, and
• a second visual indicator with a second media asset identifier that corresponds to a media asset selected by the first but not the second user, wherein the second visual indicator specifically identifies the first user;
• generating for display a second window that includes:
• the second indication, and
• a third visual indicator with a third media asset identifier in the second window that corresponds to a media asset selected by the second but not the first user, wherein the third visual indicator specifically identifies the second user;
• and
• generating for display the visual indication in at least one of the first and second windows.
