`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`

`
`
`The Internet has opened up new channels of communica-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tion and vectors of influence over decision-making. Web
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`sites, peer-to-peer technologies, e-mail and instant messen-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`gers are new communication technologies, which have major
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`impacts.
`
`Advertisers and marketers have shown great interest in the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`influence ofthese new technologies. However, it is difficult to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`observe the channels of communication or vectors of influ-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ence using traditional market research methods.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Users of the new communication technologies have been
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`particularly quick to embrace instant messengers. Users
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`desire new ways of sharing with friends the experiences they
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`have and discoveries they make using the new communica-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tion technologies.
`
`
`Therefore, there is an opportunity to introduce a new tech-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`nology, a method and device which provide a new way of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`sharing experiences, potentially allowing advertisers and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`marketers to study channels of communication and vectors of 45
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`influence at the same time.

`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FIG. 1 is a block diagram of interrelated components of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`systems practicing aspects of the present invention.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FIG. 2 is a user interface for logging in or creating a new
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`account.
`
`FIG. 3 is a user interface for providing access to system
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`features.
`
`FIGS. 4 and 5 are user interfaces for inviting a “buddy” to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`join in practicing aspects of the present invention.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FIGS. 6 and 7 are user interfaces for sending a buddy an
`
`

`
`
`FIGS. 8A-8D are aspects of a user interface for adminis-

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`FIG. 9 is a user interface for viewing activity of buddies.

`item or location related data.
`
`
`
`
`
`FIG. 10 is a user interface for viewing a so-called hits list,
`
`
`
`
`
`
