1. A system comprising:
- (a) circuitry for accepting at least one email communication from at least one member of a network, wherein the at least one member is associated with a vehicle;
(b) circuitry for associating the at least one email communication with a sender profile at least partly based on a sender'"'"'s device-identifier data and a sender'"'"'s network-participation identifier data, including at least;
(1) circuitry for receiving with the at least one email communication at least a sender'"'"'s device identification number that includes at least a numerical device identification number that identifies at least a mobile telephone in one or more telecommunications carrier databases;
(2) circuitry for accessing in the one or more telecommunications carrier databases, at least in part with the numerical device identification number, a unique identifier that corresponds at least to a real world person and to the mobile telephone and that is associated with social network data associated with the real world person, wherein the unique identifier is at least partially numeric and is configured for uniquely identifying the real world user in one or more telecommunications carrier databases and wherein at least one of the one or more telecommunications carrier databases contains user data for a plurality of telecommunications carriers;
(3) circuitry for obtaining at least some of the social network data associated with the real world person based at least in part on the unique identifier; and
(4) circuitry for associating the at least some of the social network data with the at least one email communication as at least a portion of the sender profile; and
(c) circuitry for presenting the sender profile in association with the at least one email communication and in association with information associated with the vehicle.

25. A system comprising:
-
a computing device; and
instructions that when executed on the computing device cause the computing device to at least;(a) accept at least one email communication from at least one member of a network, wherein the at least one member is associated with a vehicle; (b) associate the at least one email communication with a sender profile at least partly based on a sender'"'"'s device-identifier data and a sender'"'"'s network-participation identifier data, including at least; (1) receive with the at least one email communication at least a sender'"'"'s device identification number that includes at least a numerical device identification number that identifies at least a mobile telephone in one or more telecommunications carrier databases; (2) access in the one or more telecommunications carrier databases, at least in part with the numerical device identification number, a unique identifier that corresponds at least to a real world person and to the mobile telephone and that is associated with social network data associated with the real world person, wherein the unique identifier is at least partially numeric and is configured for uniquely identifying the real world user in one or more telecommunications carrier databases and wherein at least one of the one or more telecommunications carrier databases contains user data for a plurality of telecommunications carriers; (3) obtain at least some of the social network data associated with the real world person based at least in part on the unique identifier; and (4) associate the at least some of the social network data with the at least one email communication as at least a portion of the sender profile; and (c) present the sender profile in association with the at least one email communication and in association with information associated with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
