Abstract: Systems and techniques for retrieving electronic data by establishing a connection to the communications system using a first account of the user; initiating a first communication session over the connection associated with the first account of the user; and automatically initiating over the same connection one or more additional communication sessions associated with one or more additional accounts of the user.

Abstract: In a presently preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a method for providing electronic information, which comprises the steps of providing a user of an electronic device with access to a Web page hosted by a first party, which Web page includes content from the first party, and which also includes content from a second party. The content from the second party relates to a subject. When the user responds to the content from the second party, e.g. by clicking on the Web page, to request additional content on the subject, the user automatically accesses a destination address, and the requested additional content is automatically sent to a destination address for use by the user independently of the user's current Web navigation session.
