Abstract

A method for delivering content to users from a web site system over a network is presented. The method includes one or more users connecting to the web site system over the network for the purpose of registering as a sending party to provide content to the web site system along with providing one or more smart-tags associated with the content, the smart-tags providing qualifying information about the content, or registering as a subscribing party to request content from the web site system by providing a subscription including one or more smart-tags. The sending party requests the web site system to deliver content provided by the sending party and the subscribing party requests delivery of the desired content. The subscribing party receives the desired content from the web site system over the network when the subscription at least in part matches one or more smart-tags provided by the sending party.
