Abstract

See full text

An assignment system and method for generating content creation requests or “assignments” that are to be fulfilled by content contributors. The assignment system is part of a content distribution system that aggregates, manages, and distributes/syndicates multimedia content that is generated by content contributors. As part of the acquisition of content, the assignment system may compensate the content contributors for the content that they provide to the system. The assignment system generates assignments that are likely to result in content that will be of interest to content consumers, such as visitors and/or subscribers to websites provided by, associated with, or using the content of the content distributor. In some embodiments, the assignment system may generate assignments based on the popularity of pre-existing content, searches for content, or requests for content. The assignment system also manages the flow of content submissions and verifies that submitted content meets the assignment's requirements.
