Abstract

From a user through a global computer network, a computing system receives (a) first information about real estate and (b) second information. In association with an address within the global computer network, the computing system stores at least a portion of the first information. The address includes a domain name and the second information. Through the global computer network, in association with receiving the first information, the computing system outputs a notification of the address to the user.

Claims

1. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:

from a user through a global computer network, receiving;

first information about real estate; and

second information; and

in association with an address within the global computer network, storing at least a portion of the first information, the address including a domain name and the second information; and

through the global computer network, in association with receiving the first information, outputting a notification of the address to the user.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second information is about the real estate.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the outputting comprises:

before receiving the first information, outputting the notification describing that the address includes the domain name and the second information.

4. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:

from a user through a global computer network, receiving;

first information about real estate; and

second information; and

in association with an address within the global computer network, storing at least a portion of the first information, the address including a domain name and the second information separated from one another by only a single character.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the address is a first address, and wherein the receiving comprises:

receiving the first and second information from the user through a second address within the global computer network, the second address including the domain name.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the second information is about the real estate.

7. The method of claim 4 and comprising:

through the global computer network, in association with receiving the first information, outputting a notification of the address to the user.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the outputting comprises:

before receiving the first information, outputting the notification describing that the address includes the domain name and the second information.

9. The method of claim 4 wherein the domain name is preceded by the second information.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the single character is a dot.

11. The method of claim 4 wherein the domain name is followed by the second information.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the single character is a slash.

13. The method of claim 4 wherein the computing system includes first and second computing devices, and wherein:

the receiving comprises;

with the first computing device, receiving the first and second information; and

the storing comprises;

with the second computing device, storing at least the portion of the first information.

14. A computing system, comprising:

at least one device for;

from a user through a global computer network, receiving;

first information about real estate; and

second information; and

in association with an address within the global computer network, storing at least a portion of the first information, the address including a domain name and the second information separated from one another by only a single character.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the address is a first address, and wherein the device is for:

receiving the first and second information from the user through a second address within the global computer network, the second address including the domain name.

16. The system of claim 14 wherein the second information is about the real estate.

17. The system of claim 14 wherein the device is for:

through the global computer network, in association with receiving the first information, outputting a notification of the address to the user.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the device is for:

before receiving the first information, outputting the notification describing that the address includes the domain name and the second information.

19. The system of claim 14 wherein the domain name is preceded by the second information.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the single character is a dot.

21. The system of claim 14 wherein the domain name is followed by the second information.

22. The system of claim 21 wherein the single character is a slash.

23. The system of claim 14 wherein the device includes:

a first computing device for receiving the first and second information; and

a second computing device for storing at least the portion of the first information.
