Abstract
A method and system for interacting with users of portable devices is disclosed. Embodiments are directed to a mechanism for initiating interactions with users of a portable device in response to triggers detected in monitored data, where the monitored data may pertain to at least one of a time of day, a location of the portable device, a characteristic of the portable device, a characteristic of a wireless network over which the portable device communicates, and a user-initiated event associated with at least one of the portable device and an application running on the portable device. As such, the relevance of the timing of the interaction is increased. Further, the interactions may be tailored based upon the monitored data, thereby increasing the relevance of the content of the interaction. As such, embodiments provide means for intelligently interacting with users of portable devices.
