Abstract
In a method, apparatus and program product for providing an internet third party data channel, an existing data channel is monitored for a data communication having a predetermined property. Upon detection of such data communication, a data source is accessed to obtain third party data, the data communication is modified or replacing in response to the third party data, and the modified or replaced data communication is sent to the originally intended recipient. The present invention allows the incorporation of third party data into existing internet client/server connections in a convenient and flexible way.
