Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for collecting and aggregating user-generated data based on user provided parameters and measures of relevance of underlying content. A user's data is combined with already existing collective data to generate relevant mark-ups for a document or other consumable data file, such as audio or video. The marked-up version of the document or data file is then displayed to users to, inter alia, help increase efficiency and assist in comprehension.

Abstract: The present invention provides tools for efficient networking and is specially targeted to frequent travelers and others active in social networking. It enables users to squeeze in meet ups with their contacts when they happen to be or expect to be in the vicinity of those contacts. The invention envisions a system that allows users to declare where they are or will be, and invite their friends to join. The central feature of the system is a radar like graphical user interface and a flexible, private and customizable process under user control.

Abstract: This invention presents novel and simple, yet powerful, system and method for creating, organizing, sharing or distributing information via electronic means of communication, such as, e-mail, instant messaging, or electronic data transmission means. The system and method offer a new way of addressing data security concerns. The system architecture is designed to give a user substantial control on the personal communication environment in addition to the system-wide security measures. Other innovations herein include novel use of flexible data structures to organize the information in the system database, use of familiar communication protocols for new functionality, and new method for efficiently gleaning information from many sources into a uniform structure. This invention also provides a highly effective system and method of gathering precise “business intelligence” and other data for decision-making.
