Abstract
A community space is established for a media content item. Data items are received from contributing account holders. Each data item has metadata including an index time corresponding to a time of relevance of the data item during playback of the media content item. Each data item is separate from the media content item. The data items and their associated metadata are stored within the community space in correlation with the media content item. A streaming request for the media content item is received from a requesting account holder. The media content item is streamed to a device of the requesting account holder in response to the streaming request. At least some of the data items and their associated metadata correlated with the media content item are transmitted from the community space to the requesting account holder in conjunction with streaming the media content item to the requesting account holder.
