Abstract: A profiling system including one or more processing devices assigns a classification to a particular user based on anonymous on-line user activities engaged in by the particular user via a plurality of different on-line sites. The profiling system determines that the particular user is currently accessing a particular on-line site. In response to determining that the particular user is currently accessing the particular on-line site, the profiling system delivers selected content to the particular user, wherein the selected content is automatically selected based on the classification.

Abstract: First and second cookies are obtained from first and second devices, respectively. The first cookie includes a first ID corresponding to a registered user ID, which is in turn associated with first information indicating activities related to interactions of a registered user with a first website. The second cookie includes a second ID corresponding to an anonymous user ID, which is in turn associated with second information identifying activities related to interactions of an anonymous user with a second website. The first and second user IDS, and the first and second information, are stored in a database, and correlated to determine commonalities. In response to identifying at least one commonality a determination is made, based on the at least one commonality, that the registered user and the anonymous user are a single user. The database is updated to include a unified listener identifier (ULID) that links the registered user ID with the anonymous user ID.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at an application provider, a request from a requestor to provide a customized application. The application provider obtains a first configuration parameter including channel configuration information specifying a default channel. The application provider also obtains an unconfigured application from a codebase, and modifies the unconfigured application based, at least in part, on the first configuration parameter, to generate the customized application. As modified, the customized application is configured to include the default channel specified by the channel configuration information. The customized application is then transmitting to a destination specified by the requestor.

Abstract: First information associated with a first anonymous user, which indicates activities related to interactions of the first user with a first website, is obtained using a cookie. Second information associated with a second anonymous user, which indicates activities related to interactions of the second user with a second website, is obtained using a cookie. The first information and the second information are correlated to determine commonalities between the first information and the second information. In response to identifying at least one commonality, the first user identifier is associated with the second user identifier, and the first information is aggregated with the second information, based on the association. The aggregated information is stored in a profile associated with a single user, who is classified based on the aggregated information. The user, who may still be anonymous, is provided content based on the aggregated information.

Abstract: An application provider device receives, from an online application store, a first online request to provide a first application associated with a first market brand, and a first configuration parameter associated with the first market brand. The first configuration parameter includes information identifying a first information source associated with the first market brand, and first visual elements associated with the first market brand. An unconfigured application is obtained from a codebase. The application is configurable for use with multiple different market brands, and further configurable to use a default information source for obtaining media items. The unconfigured application is customized, based on the first configuration parameter, to generate the requested application by pre-configuring the unconfigured application with the first information source as the default information source, and with the first visual elements.

Abstract: First information associated with a first anonymous user, which indicates activities related to interactions of the first user with a first website, is obtained using a cookie. Second information associated with a second anonymous user, which indicates activities related to interactions of the second user with a second website, is obtained using a cookie. The first information and the second information are correlated to determine commonalities between the first information and the second information. In response to identifying at least one commonality, the first user identifier is associated with the second user identifier, and the first information is aggregated with the second information, based on the association. The aggregated information is stored in a profile associated with a single user, who is classified based on the aggregated information. The user, who may still be anonymous, is provided content based on the aggregated information.

Abstract: Listener data is gathered by obtaining first behavioral information from a user visiting a first website or mobile device using a first ID, obtaining second behavioral information from the user visiting a second website or mobile device that provides a different product from the first website using a second ID, correlating the first and second behavioral information to determine that they are that of a single user, associating the first ID with the second ID, and associating the first behavioral information with the second behavioral information. The method may use a device identifier for a device that accesses a streaming media site, and store information associated with the media site and the user's behavior. Credits can be assigned to the user based on the user's behavior, and promotions made available based on the user's behavior. The credits can then be accepted as tender for one or more of the promotions.
