Abstract
A method and notification system for notifying broadcast streams to multiple users. A notifier receives, from a broadcaster, a request to notify a broadcast stream to the multiple users. The notifier receives preferences from a subset of users of two or more social networking systems. The preferences identify: (i) some but not all social networking systems of the two or more social networking systems which should send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users; and (ii) times during which the notifications about the broadcast stream should be sent to the subset of users. The notifier instructs an agent representing a broadcaster in each social networking system of only the some social networking systems to send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users at the times identified in the preferences.
