1. A computer controlled method for presenting an experiential data stream in a shared social space to at least one local audience member, said method comprising: preparing to present content from an experiential data stream, wherein the experiential data stream includes a commercial break having a start and an end, wherein a local audience member in said shared social space has access to at least a prerecorded partial version of said experiential data stream, and wherein other audience members from said shared social space record said experiential data stream from different feeds; monitoring a first playback position in a time dimension of said experiential data stream on a local device for at least one local audience member; detecting a proximity to the end of the commercial break from the first playback position in the experiential data stream; monitoring one or more utterances received by the local device to determine whether the other audience members from the shared social space and the local audience member are conversing; extending the commercial break with additional advertising in response to determining that the other audience members and the local audience member are conversing at the end of the commercial break; and signaling the local device to present the experiential data stream in response to determining that the audience members have completed their conversation.
