Providing feedback via a social network from a media distribution platform

摘要

A method to provide information about media products available through a media distribution platform (335) enables users of the media distribution platform (335) to communicate information about media products (110) via social network messages. Upon selection of an option by a user to communicate information about a media product (110) via a social network message, the media distribution platform (335) generates a pre-filled social network message (165) that includes an identifier (170) of the media product (110). In addition to allowing information about media products to be communicated via the social network, the media product identifier (170) also enables the media distribution platform (335) to retrieve information about a media product's popularity as indicated by the number of social network messages that include the identifier (170). This information can be utilized to enhance and personalize user media product recommendations through the media distribution platform (335).
