Abstract: A database system is operated to identify segments of a video program by: reviewing social media content published during the broadcast of the program, or during a time period immediately following the broadcast; generating statistics related to use of a particular referencing identifier contained in the reviewed content, wherein the identifier is contextually related to subject matter of the program; identifying, from the statistics, an active time period corresponding to a statistically significant increase in usage of the identifier; creating a data object that indicates the start and end times for a segment of the program, wherein the creating correlates the active time period with the start and end times; and providing access to the data object upon request from a device, to enable the device to process a recorded version of the video program using the data object to selectively present the segment of the program.
