Abstract

A data mining and presentation system including a first processor for obtaining data of interest to a user from one or more data sources. The first processor designed to receive one or more user specified parameters in connection with the data, and in communication with the data sources via a telecommunication network. A second processor in communication with the first processor, the second processor receiving and manipulating the data for presentation to the user in accordance with parameters specified by the user. At least one content-specific advertisement coupled to the data for presentation to the user. The manipulated data and content-specific advertisements being presented via a telecommunication network to one or more user platforms.

Claims

1. A method of presenting advertisements to a viewer of a website, the method comprising:

coupling content-specific advertisements from a provider to data content;
