Abstract
A system and method for funding for communications, the system including instructions for displaying, using a processor connected to a network, a first communication associated with an interest, wherein the displaying of the first communication is on a user feed of a graphical user interface accessible by a user via a web browser or a mobile application; and displaying an icon positioned within or adjacent to the first communication on the user feed, that indicates the first communication is trumpetable and that the user can pay a monetary contribution to fund further propagation of the same. The processor registers a user input indicating a fixed amount of currency as the monetary contribution; performs a transfer of the currency from a user financial account to a second account designated to hold funds for the further propagation of the trumpetable communication; and projects the funded trumpetable communication to an advertising medium.
