Abstract: A CHARITY uses a new web service arbitrarily called “FUNDPAL” interactively with an existing social networking organization and service, for example TWITTER”; and a web payment organization and service, for example PAYPAL; to raise money from its followers on TWITTER. After registering with TWITTER, with PAYPAL, and also with FUNDPAL to which it accords authority to send messages to its followers on its behalf, the CHARITY sends timely and topical messages (“tweets”) to its typically many followers, communicating that earmarked donations can be made to the charity. To those responding—“re-tweeting”—that they wish to donate, the charity eventually provides a hyperlink to FUNDPAL acting as its agent. This commences a process where agent FUNDPAL—recognizing that it has been mentioned in a message (“tweet”) of the CHARITY at the social networking site (TWITTER)—responds to any forwarded messages (“tweets”) from followers of the charity by facilitating their immediate charitable donations through PAYPAL.

The server may provide gaming, and computer controlled by the mobile phone user to display a game to this user. Alternatively, the server may provide maintenance, and the computer—which may be remote—controlled by the user to effect maintenance. Further alternatively, a remote computer may be controlled by the user of the mobile phone to process education and entertainment content, providing display information yet again across the interne to one or more displays local, and visible, to the user. By lavish use of Internet communication remote computers of considerable power and communications bandwidth may thus be controlled by a simple programmed mobile phone to process, and to provide, copious information to a local user having but an inexpensive terminal, or Internet-connected display.
