Abstract
Media such as live media streams can be efficiently delineated and distributed to a variety of devices using a number of different mechanisms. A particular media sequence can be identified by a device user to allow a content server or fragment server to generate a media segment that can be shared or distributed using mechanisms such as social networks. A device user may provide marker indicators, time frames, event triggers, etc., that indicate to a content server where a media segment can be delineated. A link to the media segment may be provided along with pre-roll and post-roll targeted or content-specific advertising to a variety of other users.
