Abstract
A method includes determining, at a first computing device associated with a network, whether voting for video content is permitted from a second computing device. The second computing device is coupled to the network to receive the video content. The method further includes, in response to determining that voting for the video content is permitted from the second computing device, sending data related to a graphical user interface to the second computing device. The graphical user interface enables receipt of voting input for the video content. The method further includes, in response to determining that voting for the video content is permitted from the second computing device, updating a voting record for the video content with the voting input received from the second computing device via the graphical user interface.
