Abstract

Methods and systems for sourcing supplemental content are disclosed. Secondary devices may be used to identify content streaming on first screen devices and to generate supplemental data for the content. In this manner, users may be leveraged to create various data for a variety of content. The data may be collected and organized so that users watching content at a later time may have access to the data. Methods and systems for using second screen devices to access metadata created by the crowd are also disclosed.
