Abstract

A method of establishing a digital relationship between an individual and a provider includes providing the individual with the ability to establish a digital account on a server that will include a repository of digital content created by one or more providers that has been requested by the individual. The provider can also establish a digital account on the server that will store content of the provider to be accessed by the individual and permit the provider to establish a unique URL for embedding in web content on the world wide web or through the use of quick release codes and bar codes. An anonymous-viewing association is created between the individual and one or more providers based on the individual'"'"'s clicking on a provider'"'"'s unique URL contained in the web content or through the use of quick release codes and bar codes.

Claims

1. A method of establishing a digital relationship between a creator and a provider whereby the creator is anonymous to the provider, yet the provider is able to deliver and display web content to the creator, comprising the steps of:

providing the creator with the ability to establish a digital account on a server that will include a repository of digital content created by providers that has been requested by the creator from the providers;

providing the provider with the ability to establish a digital account on the server that will store content of the provider to be accessed by the creator and to establish a unique URL for embedding in web content on the world wide web or in a quick release code or bar code,

creating an association on the server between the creator and selected providers upon the creator'"'"'s clicking on a provider'"'"'s unique URL contained in the web content or in a quick release code or bar code, the association allowing digital content of the selected provider stored in the repository to be anonymously viewed by the creator, the anonymous viewing meaning that the provider does not know the identity of the creator but the provider can still supply content to the repository for anonymous viewing as long as the association is not ended.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the association can be between a creator and a number of providers.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the server provides web content development tools for creating web content unique to the provider, the web development tools preventing any tracking information to be associated with the provider'"'"'s unique URL.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the content of the provider stored on the server is a coupon for services, goods, a discount on services or goods or information the provider desires the creator to view.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the creating step provides an ability for the Creator to terminate the association with the provider so that no further digital content of the provider is supplied to the repository of the creator terminating the association.

6. A system comprising a server, the server including a computer program in the form of non transitory media that is capable of practicing the method of claim 1.

7. A computer readable media in the form of non-transitory media that stores a computer program, the computer program capable of practicing the method of claim 1.
