Method and system for providing media programming
A method of generating media programming includes the steps of providing by an aggregator to a client a list of feeds; receiving by the aggregator from the client a selection of one of the feeds; receiving by a publisher from the aggregator the feed selection; and providing to the client media programming based on a publisher-initiated feed responsive to the feed selection and including media elements selected and concatenated with the feed responsive to the client information.
1. A method of generating media programming, comprising:
delivering by an aggregator to a client a list of feeds;
receiving by the aggregator from the client a selection of one of the feeds;
acquiring by a publisher from the aggregator the feed selection;
collecting by the publisher from the aggregator client information, wherein said client information comprises user information; and
providing to the client individual customized media programming based on a publisher-initiated feed responsive to the feed selection and including media elements selected, ordered, and concatenated with the feed that are responsive at least in part to the user information.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising furnishing a plurality of the media elements according to parameters and instructions for assembling media programming.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the parameters and instructions comprise a template.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the template is processed according to collected user information and at least one algorithm for selection and sequencing of media elements, assembling the media elements, and providing a feed to the user.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a first feed responsive to the selection of one of the feeds is furnished during a first time period and a second feed comprising the individual customized media programming is furnished during a second time period.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user information comprises a user profile.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user information comprises user preference data.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the media programming comprises multiple streams of media elements.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein portions of the multiple streams are concatenated according to user information.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the media elements comprise transitions, and the media elements are dynamically positioned, temporally or spatially, within the context of the media programming.
