Abstract

A device may receive user metadata associated with media content identified in an interactive program guide (IPG). The user metadata may be based on input provided by a user via the IPG, and the media content may be associated with a media content identifier. The device may determine a manner in which the user metadata is to be processed. The device may process the user metadata in the manner in which the user metadata is to be processed. The user metadata may be processed to permit the user to view the user metadata, via the IPG, at a later time, or the user metadata may be processed to permit another user, associated with another device, to view the user metadata.
