Abstract: A method, system, GUI, apparatus, and machine-readable media for enabling a customer to access information associated with a hosted user profile via a third party information source are provided. A customer may request information associated with a user profile via a mechanism provided by a third party information source via, for example, a mobile communications device. The customer may be enabled to access the information associated with the hosted user profile and an account associated with the customer may be updated to reflect the access. An account associated with the user may be updated to show the transaction and a statement regarding transactions associated with the user profile may be prepared and presented to the user.

Abstract: A method, system, GUI, apparatus, and computer readable media for enabling a customer to access to a media file uploaded by a user are provided. A user profile may be generated using received login and profile information. The user profile may be hosted on, for example, a web site, SMS/MMS gateway, and a WAP site. A media file may be received from the user and may be upload to the user profile. The media file may be associated with a user account. A request to access the media file may be received from a customer. An account associated with the customer may be updated to indicate their requested access to the media file. The customer may then be enabled to access the media file. The user's account may be updated to indicate the transaction.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer-based method for logging a user mobile device onto a server computer system including registering a unique identifier of a user mobile device, receiving a first message from the user mobile device, detecting an Internet Protocol address associated with the user mobile device, receiving the unique identifier corresponding to the Internet Protocol address; and transmitting to the user mobile device a second message.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of transferring media, comprising receiving a selection from a user computer system over a network at a server computer system, transmitting a download page from the server computer system to the user computer system, the download page having a link, based on the selection, a full-track content media file being downloadable from the server computer system onto the user computer system when selecting the link, determining at the server computer system whether a mobile device can receive full-track content, and transmitting the full-track content media file from the server computer system to the mobile device in response to the selection, only if the mobile device can receive full-track content.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer-based method of transmitting a file, including receiving a message from a user mobile device at a service computer system, determining at the server computer system whether the message includes a search identifier, extracting at least one search result from a data store at the server computer system based on a search term in the message if the server computer system determined that the message included a search identifier, and transmitting a file corresponding to the search result from the server computer system to the user mobile device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for registering a user at a server computer system. A first interface is transmitted from the server computer system to a user computer system, the first interface having a field for entering a mobile telephone number. A mobile phone number entered into the field for the mobile phone number is received from the user computer system at the server computer system. A password is generated and transmitting from the server computer system to a mobile device having a mobile phone number corresponding to the mobile phone number received from the user computer system and a second interface is transmitted from the server computer system to the user computer system, the second interface including a field for entering the password. A follow-up message is transmitted from the server computer system to the mobile device if the password is not received from the user computer system at the server computer system within a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of processing data including, receiving a URL at a server computer system, utilizing the URL at the server computer system to extract a plurality of server search results from a data store, and transmitting the server search results from the server computer system to the user computer system.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer-based method of manipulating electronic media, including transmitting an initial media file to a publishing user computer system, the initial media file having media content playing from a start time to an end time over a first duration of time, transmitting an editing tool to the publishing user computer system, the editing tool being usable at the publishing user computer system to make at least one time selection after the start time and before the end time of the initial media file, receiving a publish command from the publishing user computer system at a server computer system, and storing a reduced media file at the server computer system in response to the publish command, the reduced media file having media content from the initial media file, playing over a second duration of time that is shorter than the first duration of time, and having at least one of a start time and an end time that depends on the time selection made using the editing tool at the publishing use
