Systems, media, and methods for providing an algorithmically sorted watchlist or wishlist

1. A computer-implemented system for maintaining an algorithmically sorted watchlist comprising:

a) a digital processing device comprising an operating system configured to perform executable instructions and a memory;

b) a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to create an application, the application configured for:

i) presenting an interface allowing a first user to create a watchlist comprising a plurality of digital media items, the watchlist having an order indicating a priority for the first user to consume each item;

ii) presenting an interface allowing the first user to rate media items they have consumed;

iii) presenting an interface allowing the first user to recommend one or more consumed media items to a second user, the second user having a social connection to the first user within a social network;

iv) presenting an interface allowing the first user to ask the second user a question pertaining to a media item;

v) presenting an interface allowing the first user to discuss a media item with the second user; and

vi) algorithmically updating the watchlist, the update based on social graph distance between the first user and the second user and user activity including: the second user adding a media item to a watchlist, the second user consuming a media item, the second user rating a media item, the second user recommending a media item, the second user discussing a media item, and aggregated activity of a community of users within the social network, wherein a scope of the community of users is customizable by the first user indicating a number of users, a distance between users on the social graph, one or more demographic characteristics, or one or more groups within the social network.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the media items comprise one or more: TV series, TV series seasons, TV episodes, movies, movie trailers, music videos, or user generated videos.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated activity of a community of users comprises an average rate of, or trend in: adding a media item to a watchlist by users of the community, consuming a media item by users of the community, rating a media item by users of the community, recommending a media item by users of the community, or discussing a media item by users of the community.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein algorithmically updating the watchlist applies a weight to different types of user activity to algorithmically the watchlist.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein algorithmically updating the watchlist also updates a user interface of the application to indicate, for each media item the user activity used to algorithmically the watchlist.

13. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an application for maintaining an algorithmically sorted watchlist, the application configured for:

a) presenting an interface allowing a first user to create a watchlist comprising a plurality of digital media items, the watchlist having an order indicating a priority for the first user to consume each item;

b) presenting an interface allowing the first user to rate media items they have consumed;

c) presenting an interface allowing the first user to recommend one or more consumed media items to a second user, the second user having a social connection to the first user within a social network;

d) presenting an interface allowing the first user to ask the second user a question pertaining to a media item;

e) presenting an interface allowing the first user to discuss a media item with the second user; and

f) algorithmically updating the watchlist, the update based on social graph distance between the first user and the second user and user activity including: the second user adding a media item to a watchlist, the second user consuming a media item, the second user rating a media item, the second user recommending a media item, the second user discussing a media item, and aggregated activity of a community of users within the social network, wherein a scope of the community of users is customizable by the first user indicating a number of users, a distance between users on the social graph, one or more demographic characteristics, or one or more groups within the social network.

14. A computer-implemented system for maintaining an algorithmically sorted wishlist comprising:

a) a digital processing device comprising an operating system configured to perform executable instructions and a memory;

b) a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to create an application, the application configured for:

i) presenting an interface allowing a first user to create a wishlist comprising a plurality of items, the wishlist having an order indicating a priority for the first user to acquire each item;

ii) presenting an interface allowing the first user to rate items they have acquired;

iii) presenting an interface allowing the first user to recommend one or more acquired items to a second user, the second user having a social connection to the first user within a social network;

iv) presenting an interface allowing the first user to ask the second user a question pertaining to an item;

v) presenting an interface allowing the first user to discuss an item with the second user; and

vi) algorithmically updating the watchlist, the update based on social graph distance between the first user and the second user and user activity including: the second user adding a media item to a watchlist, the second user consuming a media item, the second user rating a media item, the second user recommending a media item, the second user discussing a media item, and aggregated activity of a community of users within the social network, wherein a scope of the community of users is customizable by the first user indicating a number of users, a distance between users on the social graph, one or more demographic characteristics, or one or more groups within the social network.

24. The system of claim 14 , wherein the aggregated activity of a community of users comprises an average rate of, or trend in: adding an item to a wishlist by users of the community, acquiring an item by users of the community, rating an item by users of the community, recommending an item by users of the community, or discussing an item by users of the community.
