Abstract: The present application is directed to methods and systems for a social networking media system. Users may record brief media messages comprising video and/or audio, via a desktop computing machine, portable computing machine, laptop, tablet, smart phone, or other computing device, and upload the media message to a web provider. Although sometimes referred to as multimedia, in many embodiments, the messages may comprise only audio or only video. Other users of the system may view the media message and record reply media messages, which are similarly uploaded to the web provider. In some embodiments, the message and reply messages may be linked, providing an interactive media-based asynchronous dialogue.
