In one embodiment, a computer server machine generates a time map associated with the video stream. The video stream comprises one or more time slices. The computer server machine identifies a non-relevant time frame. The computer machine receives a comment and a localized comment time stamp, and associates the comment with one or more time slices. One or more client devices communicates a request for one or more time slices to the computer server machine, and the computer server machine determines whether the localized comment time stamp is within the requested one or more time slices. When the localized comment time stamp is within the requested one or more time slices, computer server machine transforms the localized time stamp to a synchronized comment time stamp. Computer server machine sends information regarding the synchronized comment time stamp to the one or more client devices.

Comment synchronization in a video stream

Disclosed is a technology for publishing subscriptions in a publish-subscribe system in accordance with subscription groups. The technology may include (i) determining a consumption characteristic by which each of multiple subscribers in a publish-subscribe system consumes a subscription published by a publisher; (ii) identifying the subscribers whose consumption characteristics satisfy a specified similarity criterion; (iii) defining multiple subscription groups, each of which includes subscriptions of those of the subscribers whose consumption characteristics satisfy the specified similarity criterion; (iv) storing the subscriptions in multiple logical partitions of a storage system where each of the logical partitions contains a separate non-overlapping subset of the subscriptions; and (v) transmitting the subscriptions to the subscribers in accordance with the subscription groups.

Subscription groups in publish-subscribe system

Disclosed is a method and system for publishing subscriptions in a publish-subscribe system in accordance with subscription groups. Embodiments may include (i) determining a consumption characteristic by which each of a plurality of subscribers in a publish-subscribe system consumes a subscription published by a publisher; (ii) identifying the subscribers whose consumption characteristics satisfy a specified similarity criterion; (iii) defining a plurality of subscription groups, each of which includes subscriptions of those of the subscribers whose consumption characteristics satisfy the specified similarity criterion; and (iv) transmitting the subscriptions to the subscribers in accordance with the subscription groups. Embodiments may also include moving a subscription of the subscriber, from a first subscription group having subscriptions of those of the subscribers whose consumption characteristics correspond to a first specified similarity criterion, to a second subscription group having subscriptions of those of the subscribers whose consumption characteristics correspond to a second specified similarity criterion.
