A media player user interface on behalf of a user associated with a user account is generated that has a social network module that includes media updates associated with other users to which the user is linked. Media player actions associated with the user occurring in the media player user interface are also captured, updates are generated and provided to social network modules in a media player user interface associated with other linked users.
