The entry may include the rank. The leaderboard may be divided into buckets. Each bucket may include consecutive entries from the leaderboard. One of the entries may be included at the end of a first buckets and at the beginning of a second buckets. The buckets may be ordered sequentially. The bucket may be updated with score versions to produce an updated bucket, where the score versions may include new versions and old versions.

A social network aggregation platform collects user generated content from multiple disparate social network platforms. The platform includes methods and systems for maintaining and applying user-selected and/or platform-specific privacy settings to the content when distributed or published. User privacy settings are compiled across platforms and used as a filter list against user-generated content.
