7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media elements include, at least in part, text and wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

one or more other interactions with the at least one connecting user interface elements to cause, at least in part, a modification of the one or more connections; and

a remixing of the at least one media composition based, at least, in part, on the modification of the one or more connections.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second of the one or more media composition applications is an organizational application, and wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

a notification to a composer of the at least one media composition of accessing, adapting, or a combination thereof of the at least one media composition.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

a processing of at least one media composition, one or more other media compositions, or a combination thereof to determine popularity information associated with the media elements, the locations of origination, or a combination thereof.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

at least one determination of the at least one media composition, the media elements, or a combination thereof to associate with the locations of origination based, at least in part, on the conquering status information.

11. An apparatus comprising:
