Abstract: A system for the aggregation and sharing of entertainment content on a global communications network, such as the Internet. A hosted service provides at least one server, one database, and software operating the server and the database to provide a web site on the network. The web site permits users to each set-up one or more accounts in accord with a JokeBox metaphor for storing instances of the entertainment content in the database. At least some of the users send emails to the hosted service containing entertainment content for inclusion in their accounts, with the hosted service permitting them to specify classes of the users which can view the entertainment content in their said accounts. The hosted service then presents the entertainment content in the accounts at the web site, thus aggregating and sharing the entertainment content.
