Abstract: An electronic network is provided to facilitate an exchange of information. A database on a first computing system provides a data structure to organize records for the exchange of information. A request for information is sent from a first user on a second computing system to the electronic information exchange agent and stored in the data structure. The request for information has an offer of compensation for a response to the request for information. The response to the request for information is sent from a second user on a third computing system to the electronic information exchange agent and stored in the data structure. Revenue from the information exchange transaction generates residuals. Profit sharing motivates participation from the users. A portion of the compensation is reserved as an administrative fee for use of the electronic information exchange agent.
