First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
a memory configured to store executable instructions that cause at least one of the one or more processors to;
provide a personal base; and
provide a personal base server;
wherein the personal base and the personal base server implement a phonesite that is accessible by a phonesite user, wherein the phonesite acts as an intelligent network agent for the phonesite user on a network and is delegated authority by the phonesite user to execute a purchasing transaction based on a decision-making process on behalf of the phonesite user and without user intervention;
wherein;
the personal base server is configured to communicate with a second software process via the network;
the phonesite user communicates with the personal base via a client device; and
the phonesite user communicates with the second software process through the personal base server;
display a customizable menu comprising a set of user selectable options provided by the phonesite; and
receive phonesite user purchase criteria via the communication device;
wherein;
upon receiving the phonesite user purchase criteria, the personal base causes the personal base server to communicate with the second software process via the network; and
if information received via the network matches the phonesite user purchase criteria based, at least in part, on a thesaurus of tags, then the phonesiteexecutes the purchasing transaction without prompting the phonesite user.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for enabling telephone users to place information on a network that is accessible by a variety of devices from disparate communication protocols are provided. A telecommunications network provides access to one or more servers to one or more customers. A customer that is provided access to the server is enabled to create a basis of operations called a phonesite. The phonesite is constructed and arranged to allow read, write, and execute privileges to the customer and to those designated by the customer. Files and other information on the phonesite can be accessed and edited from, for example, a standard telephone, a personal computer, a personal digital assistant, a web cam, an instant message client, and the like. Customers are given a single number with which to access the phonesite, or to allow others to access the phonesite. Other organizations or individuals with phonesites can exchange information in an automated fashion once connection between the two phonesites is authorized and established.
