Abstract

Systems and methods are provided which implement techniques for providing supplemental and social information along with primary information. In one implementation, a user interface is provided with various sections. One section plays back a main item of content, while a second section displays supplemental information. A third section provides interactive tools for a user to communicate or share information with other users.
