Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for efficient, entertaining information delivery. In one embodiment, information is partitioned into clips. Clips are selected for a user and packaged together for presentation to the user in an entertaining manner. In one embodiment, the clips are selected and packaged together in accordance with a template. In another embodiment, information about a user is used to select clips. In one embodiment, a user is presented with a stream of information comprised of clips of information assembled for the user. The user may select a clip to retrieve additional information related to the clip. In one embodiment, the selected clip is a portion of a program (e.g., a television show, a movie, a song, an advertisement, etc.) and the additional information is a larger clip of the program and/or the entire program.

1. A method of providing video programming to a user, comprising the steps of: searching, by one or more computing devices, one or more databases of video clips in response to a user request wherein each video clip comprises a plurality of frames,selecting, by one or more of said computing devices, a plurality of first video clips responsive to the user request, wherein each first video clip is associated with media content comprising one or more second video clips;selecting, by one or more of said computing devices, a plurality of first transitional clips for association with at least some of the selected first video clips;determining a first temporal sequence for concatenating the selected first video clips and first transitional clips;wherein said selecting, determining and concatenating is performed according to one or more first templates, to define first video programming, wherein said one or more first templates comprise a plurality of variables corresponding to (a) information about the user, (b) viewing scenarios of two or more selected video clips in a temporal relationship to each other, and (c) style requirements; andpresenting said first video programming in a first area of a display associated with one of said computing devices;concurrently with said presenting said first video programming, presenting one or more frames from one or more displayed first video clips from the first video programming in a second area of said display;receiving, by one or more of said computing devices, a user selection corresponding to at least one of the frames of at least one first video clip presented in the second area of the display;selecting, by one or more of said computing devices, a second video clip based on at least one stored association between the second video clip and at least one first video clip indicated by said user selection;selecting, by one or more of said computing devices, a plurality of video clips including the second video clip, and determining a second temporal sequence for concatenating the selected plurality of second video clips, wherein said selecting, determining, and concatenating is performed in accordance with one or more first or second templates, to define second video programming;wherein said one or more first or second templates comprises a plurality of variables corresponding to (a) information about the user, (b) viewing scenarios of two or more selected video clips in a temporal relationship to each other, and (c) style requirements; andpresenting said second video programming on a display associated with one or more of said computing devices. 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said video clips of said first or second video programming is a transitional clip. 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein at least one of said video clips of each of said first and second video programming is a transitional clip. 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein said transitional clip is a hosting clip consistent with at least one template variable. 5. A method according to claim 2, wherein at least one transitional clip is a hosting clip consistent with at least one template variable. 6. A method according to claim 2, wherein said first or second template variables corresponding to viewing scenarios comprise sequencing limitations for incorporating video clips at specific locations in the first or second video programming. 7. A method according to claim 6, wherein the sequencing limitations comprise at least one of length requirements, requirements for presenting a set of associated video clips in a predetermined order, and requirement for presenting a set of associated video clips within a predetermined time frame. 8. A method according to claim 6, wherein one or more video clips comprise advertising. 9. A method according to claim 6, wherein information about the user comprises at least one of demographic information, psychographic information, and a viewing history. 10. A method according to claim 6, wherein the step of selecting a second video clip based on said association with at least one first video clip is performed according to at least one of the first or second templates. 11. A method according to claim 6, wherein said stored associations between said video clips comprise a plurality of media tags. 12. A method according to claim 6, wherein said media tags comprise a plurality of information selected from at least some of context, subject matter, source, region, language, sponsorship, demographics, psychographics, and viewing history. 13. A method according to claim 1, wherein said first and second video programming are each presented as a stream of information to the user. 14. A method according to claim 1, wherein said first or second template variables corresponding to viewing scenarios comprise sequencing limitations for incorporating video clips at specific locations in the first or second video programming. 15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the sequencing limitations comprise at least one of length requirements, requirements for presenting a set of associated video clips in a predetermined order, and requirement for presenting a set of associated video clips within a predetermined time frame. 16. A method according to claim 1, wherein one or more video clips comprise advertising. 17. A method according to claim 1, wherein information about the user comprises at least one of demographic information, psychographic information, and a viewing history. 18. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of selecting a second video clip based on said association with at least one first video clip is performed according to at least one of the first or second templates. 19. A method according to claim 1, wherein said stored associations between said video clips comprise a plurality of media tags. 20. A method according to claim 1, wherein said media tags comprise a plurality of information selected from at least some of context, subject matter, source, region, language, sponsorship, demographics, psychographics, and viewing history.
