    Abstract: Methods and arrangements are provided for the generation and assembly of content pods for playback within an online streaming media service. A content pod is assembled to contain personal content that is relevant to an end user. In some embodiments, personal content can consist of traffic updates, voicemail messages, text messages, social media updates, and personal status updates. A content delivery system determines what personal content is available on the user device through connecting to available information sources. The delivery system then assembles the content pod from these elements in addition to invitational content from content providers. In some embodiments, a bumper message is included in the content pod to provide a context for the elements that are being assembled in combination with each other. Once the content pod is generated, it is sent to the user device to be played during content breaks within the online streaming playback.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for interaction-aware advertising to minimize banner blindness. First, the system concurrently displays, via a graphical user interface, an advertisement and application content. Next, the system detects a user interaction with the application content. Based on the user interaction, the system then locks the advertisement within a viewable area of display for concurrent display at the graphical user interface with a portion of the application content, wherein the advertisement is configured to remain locked until an unlocking event is detected.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for dynamic radio content. The system generates a media item to be inserted into a media stream. The media item can include multiple segments associated with a set of discrete components. Next, the system inserts the media item into the media stream. In response to a triggering event, the system then re-generates the media item by assembling the multiple segments using a new set of the discrete components. The system then inserts the re-generated media item into the media stream.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for sharing a media station. A user can share a media station with one or more other users. The sharing user can transmit a share request to share the media station with receiving users. A share link configured to provide access to the shared media station can then be sent to each receiving user. In some embodiments, the shared media station can be tailored or customized for the receiving user. For example, the shared media station can be tailored based on user preference data for the receiving user. To customize the shared media station, a new version of the shared media station can be generated based on one or more media station seeds that define the media station, as well as the user preference data. The newly generated version of the media station can then be provided to the receiving user.
