Methods, systems, and products for obtaining social communities
Social communities are recommended based on media affinity. When content is scheduled for recording, a media identifier is used to identify a social community expressing an affinity for the same media identifier. The social community may be any individual(s), clubs, and/or organizations that have expressed any affinity to terms or subject matter, such as the media identifier.
1. A method comprising:
generating, by a device, a recording schedule identifying content scheduled for recording by the device, wherein the recording schedule comprises a user identification and a media identifier associated with the content scheduled for recording;
sending, by the device, the recording schedule to a server;
after sending the recording schedule to the server, receiving, by the device, an input by a user to cancel the recording of the content previously scheduled to be recorded by the device;
in response to receiving the input to cancel the recording of the content, sending, by the device, a recording cancellation message to the server, wherein the recording cancellation message comprises the user identification and the media identifier associated with the content for which the input canceled the recording;
receiving, by the server, the recording cancellation message from the device;
in response to receiving the recording cancellation message, retrieving, by the server, a network address associated with a social community having an affinity with the content associated with the media identifier of the recording cancellation message; and
sending, by the server, a community removal message to the network address associated with the social community, the community removal message causing the user identification to be removed from a membership in the social community having the affinity with the content associated with the media identifier of the recording cancellation message in response to the user canceling the recording of the content.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising enrolling the user identification in the membership in the social community in response to receiving the recording schedule.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input by the user to cancel the recording of the content previously scheduled to be recorded by the device comprises receiving a deletion of an entry associated with the content in the recording schedule.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising querying an electronic database for the media identifier associated with the content in response to receiving the recording schedule from the device.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising identifying the network address in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the media identifier.
6. A system comprising:
a device comprising
a processor, and
a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the processor of the device to perform device operations, the device operations comprising:
generating a recording schedule identifying content scheduled for recording by the device, wherein the recording schedule comprises a user identification and a media identifier associated with the content scheduled for recording,
sending the recording schedule to a server,
after sending the recording schedule to the server, receiving an input by a user to cancel the recording of the content previously scheduled to be recorded by the device, and
in response to receiving the input to cancel the recording of the content, sending a recording cancellation message to the server, wherein the recording cancellation message comprises the user identification and the media identifier associated with the content for which the input canceled the recording; and
the server comprising
a processor, and
a memory device, the memory device of the server storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the processor of the server to perform server operations, the server operations comprising:
receiving the recording cancellation message from the device,
in response to receiving the recording cancellation message, retrieving a network address associated with a social community having an affinity with the content associated with the media identifier of the recording cancellation message, and
sending a community removal message to the network address associated with the social community, the community removal message causing the user identification to be removed from a membership in the social community having the affinity with the content associated with the media identifier of the recording cancellation message in response to the user canceling the recording of the content.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the server operations further comprise enrolling the user identification in the membership in the social community in response to receiving the recording schedule.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein receiving the input by the user to cancel the recording of the content previously scheduled to be recorded by the device comprises receiving a deletion of an entry associated with the content in the recording schedule.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the server operations further comprise querying an electronic database for the media identifier associated with the content in response to receiving the recording schedule from the device.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server operations further comprise identifying the network address in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the media identifier.
