Abstract: A system and method are provided for a network-based content management system (CMS) for providing a creative storytelling platform. Such platform may provide for information to be shared via a slide(s). For example, such slide(s) can be an image, text, text with an image, text with a background image, an RSS feed, a feed from a blog, a feed from a Twitter stream, a Vimeo video, etc. The slides can be grouped together and nested below or above one or more slides. The slide can be associated in a hierarchy which extends horizontally and vertically. Embodiments of the present invention provide for the hierarchical set of slides to be navigated by a user via a keyboard, touchscreen, or other communication means. The views of the slides can be changed, e.g., from filmstrip to grid view to single slide full screen views. One or more slides and/or sets of slides can be password protected.
