1. A method comprising:
- receiving created data at a server from data regarding at least one auction entered by a user at a user interface;
creating at the server a list containing at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed based on the created data;
transmitting from the server to the user interface the list containing at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed along with a request for the user to return at least one selection for each of the at least one contextually appropriate live auction feeds wherein the at least one selection is selected from a group of selections consisting of;
a feed restriction, a feed modification, a feed selection, or a feed subscription;
receiving at the server from the user interface the at least one selection for each of the at least one contextually appropriate live auction feeds to identify selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds;
transmitting to the user interface each of the selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds;
for each of the selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds, monitoring the selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds at a predetermined interval for modifications to the selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds; and
updating the selected contextually appropriate live auction feeds with the modification.

10. An article of manufacture including one or more computer-readable media that contain a program of instructions that when executed by one or more processors in the processing system, causes the one or more processors to perform a method of providing auction information to a user, the programming instructions comprising:
-
receiving created data at a server from data regarding at least one auction entered by a user at a user interface; creating at the server a list containing at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed based on the created data; transmitting from the server to the user interface the list containing at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed along with a request for the user to return at least one selection for each of the at least one contextually appropriate live auction feeds wherein the at least one selection is selected from a group of selections consisting of;

15. An apparatus for generating contextualized auction feeds, the apparatus comprising:
a processor and associated computer-readable media that contain a program of instructions which causes the processor to receive a unit of context data created from a data interaction between a user and a user interface from the user interface regarding an auction; use the unit of context data to search a plurality of auction hosts to identify at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed; generate a feed for each at least one contextually appropriate live auction feeds, wherein each feed is a contextualized auction feed; provide the contextualized auction feeds as part of an electronic feed list to the user interface along with a request for the user to return at least one selection for each of the at least one contextually appropriate live auction feeds wherein the at least one selection is selected from a group of selections consisting of;
a feed restriction, a feed modification a feed selection, or a feed subscription;receive, from the user interface, the selection request for each of the contextualized auction feeds; and monitor the selected contextualized auction feed for modifications to fields associated the at least one contextually appropriate live auction feed and automatically update the selected contextualized auction feed when a modification is detected.
