Abstract
There is disclosed a server and local device that interface for selecting advertisements to be viewed by users of an online service based upon user activity. The local device preferably maintains a targeted activity list of activity identifiers and associated advertisements.

If the activity matches one of the identifiers, the local device plays one or more advertisements.
