Abstract: A system providing for worldwide syndication and distribution of multi-media content on the Internet and providing a single online marketplace for the purchase and sale of news, entertainment features, educational and training programs, archival footage, talent demos and other digital content. A user's web page is able to link to a selected list of digital data items without the need to upgrade the user's computer to handle to storage and transmission of voluminous data because the data is accessed via a separate stand-alone web site and the user is unaware that he/she has left the user's web site. The host's Internet-based network solutions enable content providers to offer the reuse of their content on both a cash and/or barter basis. The customized systems feature content from the affiliate organization or other content providers, Internet functionality, storage and bandwidth. In return, the host receives fees and/or a percentage of the advertising revenue and/or commission on cash sales.
