  • Publication number: 20110035262
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for distributing sponsored content. For example, in one embodiment, a facilitator system receives a distribution request to distribute sponsored content. In response to the distribution request, a distribution link for distributing the sponsored content is generated. The distribution link may be adapted for identifying a distributor account associated with the distribution link. In response to receiving a request for the sponsored content generated from the distribution link, the facilitator system can redirect a viewer computing device to the sponsored content stored on a host system and provide an incentive credit to the party who distributed the distribution link.

  • Publication number: 20020113776
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a trackball mouse for controlling cursor movement on a computer monitor screen. The mouse is made of a contoured hollow housing having a curvaceous rounded top, a flat bottom, and top and bottom apertures. A spherical trackball is rotatably, movably mounted through said top aperture. At least a portion of said trackball protruding through the top aperture to allow operation of the trackball with a person's finger. A spherical bottom ball is rotatably movably mounted through the bottom aperture. At least a portion of the bottom ball protruding through the bottom aperture. A cable is connected to a computer input port for transmission of electrical signals to a central processing unit. The trackball is manipulable by a person's finger placed upon the trackball, and freely rotatable about 360° of two dimensional axes to translate movement of a cursor on a computer screen.
