Abstract
A system and method for dissemination of digital content comprising an integrated content delivery system is established that allows content providers to bid for delivery of their content based on stored, preferential, contextual and or situational data. The system preferably includes a client application that can access stored, preferential, contextual and/or situational data from its origin or the user, communicate the data to a central processing server over a network, and accept content over a network for the user. The central processing server takes into account the market for content directly related to the data communicated by the client application including the amount content providers are willing to pay per transmission.
