Systems and methods for aggregating related media content based on tagged content

1. A method comprising:

detecting an access to a first media content item by a user device;

determining if a particular amount of time has elapsed since a release time of the first media content item;

in response to the determining that the particular amount of time has elapsed, monitoring at least one database for related media content items; and

identifying a second media content item related to the first media content item, wherein

identifying the second media content item related to the first media content item comprises:

extracting a first set of keywords from the first media content item;

extracting a second set of keywords from the second media content item;

identifying the second media content item based on determining that the first set of keywords and the second set of keywords have common keywords and that a number of the common keywords is below a particular limit; and

generating for display a link to the second media content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media content item is a first news story.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the identifying the second media content item related to the first media content item comprises:

identifying a second news story that is an update to the first news story.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining the particular amount of time based on a type of the first news story.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the second media content item comprises: determining that the number of common keywords between the first set of keywords and the second set of keywords is between an upper limit and a lower limit.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating for display a timeline that depicts:

(a) a line,

(b) a maker on the line that identifies the release time of the first media content item, and

(c) a plurality of markers in the line that indicate types and release times of a plurality of additional identified media content items.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating for display a set of recommendations for alternative media content items based on a characteristic of the first media content item.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating for display a media playlist that includes the first media content item, the second media content item, and a plurality of additional identified media content items.

9. A system comprising:

a control circuitry configured to:

detect an access to a first media content item by a user device;

determine if a particular amount of time has elapsed since a release time of the first media content item;

in response to the determining that the particular amount of time has elapsed, monitor at least one database for related media content items; and

identify a second media content item related to the first media content item, wherein identifying the second media content item related to the first media content item comprises the control circuitry further configured to:

extract a first set of keywords from the first media content item;

extract a second set of keywords from the second media content item;

identify the second media content item based on determining that the first set of keywords and the second set of keywords have common keywords and that a number of the common keywords is below a particular limit; and

an input/output circuitry configured to:

generate for display a link to the second media content item.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first media content item is a first news story.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to identify the second media content item related to the first media content item by:

identifying a second news story that is an update to the first news story.

12. The system of claim 10 , where the control circuitry is configured to determine the particular amount of time based on a type of the first news story.

13. The system of claim 9 , where the control circuitry is configured to identify the second media content item by:

determining that the number of common keywords between the first set of keywords and the second set of keywords is between an upper and lower limit.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the input/output is configured to generate for display a timeline comprising:

(a) a line,

(b) a marker on the line that identifies the release time of the first media content item,

(c) a plurality of markers in the line that indicate types and release times of a plurality of additional identified media content items.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the input/output is configured to generate a display of recommendations for alternative media content items based on a characteristic of the first media content item.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the input/output is configured to generate a display of a media playlist that includes the first media content item, the second media content item, a plurality of additional identified media content items.

17. A system comprising:

means for detecting an access to a first media content item by a user device;

means for determining if a particular amount of time has elapsed since a release time of the first media content item;

means for monitoring at least one database for related media content items in response to determining that the particular amount of time has elapsed;

means for identifying a second media content item related to the first media content item, which comprises:

extracting a first set of keywords from the first media content item,

extracting a second set of keywords from the second media content item,

identifying the second media content item based on determining that the first set of keywords and the second set of keywords have common keywords and that a number of the common keywords is below a particular limit; and

means for generating for display a link to the second media content item.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the means for identifying the second media content item related to the first media content item comprise means for:

identifying a second news story that is an update to the first news story.

19. The system of claim 18 , further comprises means for identifying the second media content item as an update to the first news story.

20. The system of claim 18 , further comprising means for determining the particular amount of time based on a type of the first news story.
