Abstract: The systems and methods of the present invention project media content associated with a user to devices of a group of the user's friends. Such devices may be web-enabled and/or cellular telephones. The user's information and a list of friends are received from a user via a network and stored in a database. The user information is distributed to the friends' phone. Media content may also be distributed. The media content may include an image, a video, an avatar, or a ring tone. The media content may be stored on a friend's phone so that the media content is played when that phone receives an incoming call from the user. The invention allows users to set the way they will be identified on their friends' phones, even if they don't have that particular media content. Accordingly, a cellular telephone or other web-enabled device can be further personalized.

Abstract: A method of projecting information about a user from a device associated with the user to at least one device associated with a group of friends, comprising: receiving from the user a set of contacts, storing the set of contacts in the device associated with the first user; permitting the user to define a group of friends, wherein the group of friends comprises members of the first set of contacts; and storing the first group of friends. User information to be projected to the group of friends is received, device contact information from the set of contacts for each member of the group of friends is retrieved from the device and used to transmit the information to the group of friends; and, confirmation that the information has been associated with the user is received from at least a subset of the devices.
