Abstract: A method for placing advertisements selects a first content from a variety of content, analyzes the first content for the presence of advertiser references, and matches a first advertisement from an advertiser to the first content by using the advertiser references. This method determines a set of presentation preferences for presentation of the first advertisement in conjunction with the first content and includes the set of presentation preferences with the first content. In some cases, the method embeds the presentation preferences as advertising information into the first content. Advantageously, the method presents the first advertisement in conjunction with the first content by using the presentation preferences. Further, the method tracks the presentation of content for monetization events and stores the tracking information in a log. The monetization event includes, for example, an impression, a click, an acquisition, and/or a conversion.

Abstract: Apparatus, interfaces, and computer instructions are provided for establishing an association between a user and a declared interest, such as a brand or some other subject, and for generating a map to display the interests of one or more users. An association is established between an interest identifier, a user, and target object selected based upon an action of the user. The target object may include a location that may be specified by coordinates. The action may include selection of the at least one location by the user. Selection may include selecting a user interface feature that causes the at least one location to be selected based upon a geographical position of the user. The position may be determined by a Global Positioning System device carried by the user. Techniques are also disclosed for identifying people who are potentially interested in a given interest, or in a second interest related to a first interest, based on previously established interest-location-user associations.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for delivery of information to a mobile computing device. A remote computing device detects the occurrence of a first user event that precedes an associated second user event. The remote computing device identifies information corresponding to the associated second user event. The remote computing device determines a first priority of the information associated with the second user event and a second priority of a second information associated with the second user event. The remote computing device determines that the first priority is higher than the second priority. In response to detecting the occurrence of the first user event, the remote computing device transmits, to a mobile computing device, the information having the first priority before transmitting the second information having the second priority.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-caching information on mobile computing devices. The system and method include, based upon spatial information or temporal information associated with a user of a mobile computing device, detecting the occurrence of a first user event that precedes an associated second user event that will occur at a known time. The method and system further include identifying information corresponding to the associated second user event that will occur at the known time. The method and system also include, in response to detecting the occurrence of the first user event, transmitting to the mobile computing device the information corresponding to the associated second user event that will occur at the known time.
