1. A method for transmitting at least one content item to a group of participants in an exclusive transient social network based on a meta-identity of the group, the method comprising:
- forming the exclusive transient social network between at least two participants through a mobile application installed on the participants'"'"' mobile devices;
retrieving, at a server, attributes pertaining to the at least two participants in the exclusive transient social network;
creating, at a server, the meta-identity for the exclusive transient social network by weighing and combining the retrieved attributes;
deriving relevant data from the meta-identity; and
transmitting from a server, to the participants'"'"' mobile devices, content items based on the derived relevant data, wherein at least one of the content item is an exclusive digital coupon associated with a vendor that offers products or services, and wherein the exclusive digital coupon is dynamically created based on predefined criteria associated with the vendor and the derived relevant data;
transmitting the content items to the participants'"'"' mobile devices.

Abstract
Described herein is a transient social network that exists as long as its members are physically together. Members become a part of a private social network, referred to as a Cliq, which is facilitated by the use of an application on participant'"'"'s mobile devices. The Cliq instance is recorded on a server automatically, storing the place and time of the participants meeting. A meta-identity profile of the Cliq is established and content is recommended or desired content is retrieved upon request.
