Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for constructing, and for dynamically rearranging the order of content in a composite video. The re-ordering of clips in the composite video can be based on one or more weighting factors associated with each clip. These factors can include freshness or newness of the clip, popularity based on the number of “likes” of a clip by others, the content of the clip (e.g. celebrity creator or presence), paid boosting (e.g. for commercial concerns); and other factors. Each clip has associated metadata that can be used to assign a weight value to the clip for purposes of reordering the composite video.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of secure centralized single sign-on and session maintenance for web servers on the Internet. In a preferred implementation, a single sign-on protocol for use by web servers is independent of the actual authentication mechanism used by any of the individual web servers accessed by the user. Users authenticate themselves with any one of a group of federated servers so that a user does not need to be re-authenticated by other servers in the federation. In a preferred implementation there is also a centralized server that provides for the transparent sign-on, session management, and session termination within each server in the federation of servers, and each federated server communicates with the central sign-on server.
