First Claim
1. A method, operational on a server, for interacting with a wireless device, comprising:
- sending an initial interactive message to the wireless device, the initial interactive message including a first set of pre-assigned instant event keys defining a set of actions;
receiving a response to the initial interactive message, the response generated by selection of a first pre-assigned instant event key from the first set of pre-assigned instant event keys;
generating an alert invitation in response to the selection of the first pre-assigned instant event key, the alert invitation used to provide notification of an opportunity;
sending a request for information to the mobile device in response to the selection of the first pre-assigned instant event key, the information used to generate a profile;

Abstract
The interactive messaging system of the present invention provides for an interactive communication process between users, both senders and recipients. The sender composes a message by filling in a template stored in data services. Once completed, the sender pushes the message to a recipient'"'"'s wireless device if the wireless device contains a WAP browser, which is capable of receiving pushed messages. Typically the message includes a question along with answers for the recipient to choose from. Each answer corresponds with a pre-assigned response key and the recipient answers the question by selecting one of the pre-assigned response keys. The recipient'"'"'s response is available to the sender in the form of an e-mail, WAP Push, on-line access or interactive message that is shown to the sender on an on-line status screen.
