N2 - The growing ubiquity of Internet and cloud computing is having significant impact on media- related industries. These industries are using the Internet and cloud as a medium to enable creation, search, management, and consumption of their content. Rich web pages, software downloads, interactive communications, and ever-expanding universe of digital media require a new approach to multimedia (e.g., audio, video, images, etc.) content sharing and management. Size and volume of multimedia content is growing exponentially. Though there are many online videohosting services (YouTube, flickr, dailymotion, etc.) for storing and viewing multimedia content, there is clear lack of software platforms that can help end-users in content authoring and sharing activities in a social setting. This paper introduces the principle concepts of multimedia content sharing in a social setting and presents a novel platform that supports cloud-based collaborative video story authoring and telling. The platform leverages social networks for video search and recommendation for the purpose of story telling. The Social Content Authoring and Sharing Platform (SCASP) leverages MediaWise Cloud Content Orchestrator (MCCO) that supports do-it-yourself creation, search, management, and consumption of multimedia content. MCCO supports dynamic content delivery using CPU and storage services available in the public cloud. The platform exploits flexible content distribution capabilities of MCCO for a group of possibly geographically distributed end-users who collaborate on a specific task such as video story telling
