1. A method for initiating operation of network application logic by a processor of a computing device, comprising:
detecting control of a network-connected electronic device within a predetermined interval of a previous receipt of instructions related to playing media content that includes content-type metadata that identifies the media content as being a predetermined type of content;
programming an automated routine for initiating operation of network application logic configured to control the network-connected electronic device triggered by receipt of instruction related to playing the media content when metadata associated with selected media content includes the content-type metadata that identifies the selected media content as the predetermined type of content;
receiving an instruction related to a presentation of the selected media content configured to be consumed by a target consumer;
determining whether the selected media content includes content-type metadata that identifies the selected media content as the predetermined type of content; and
initiating operation of network application logic according to the programmed automated routine in response to determining the selected media content includes the content-type metadata that identifies the selected media content as the predetermined type of content.
