A method and apparatus for presenting media content. Media content items are presented in a media ticker or a client application having a graphical user interface. Each presented item is displayed at one end of the ticker and then scrolls or moves toward the other end where it is removed. A content item may be manipulated in the ticker, to obtain a larger view of the item, open an application to access (e.g., play) the item, save the item, transmit it to another user, etc. Visual content items may be represented in the ticker by thumbnails or other versions of the content; other types of content (e.g., audio, document, multimedia) items may be represented by icons indicating the type of content. Content items belong to content channels to which a user may subscribe or which other users may be invited to subscribe to.
