1. A method of intelligently distributing, in a networked environment, an object that represents an offering across a network, the method comprising:
- creating the object to represent the offering to be accessed across the network, the object being created to include metadata specifying criteria of target recipients of the offering,wherein the object is created in response to receiving a request in the networked environment from a user at a computing device;
wherein the criteria specified in the metadata of the object are received from the user that requested creation of the object,wherein the criteria include semantic rules describing qualifications of the target recipients,wherein the criteria are matched to users in the networked environment, to find users who satisfy the criteria as the target recipients;
automatically sending the object representing the offering across the network to the users who satisfy the criteria specified in the metadata;
automatically generating multiple versions of the object to represent the offering based on an example object.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a user device communicatively coupled to a host server over a network connection in a networked environment; wherein, when in operation, the user device establishes a communication session with the host server; wherein, when in operation, the host server creates a semantic object to represent an offering to be accessed across a network, the semantic object having metadata specifying the criteria of target recipients of the offering; wherein, when in operation, the user device receives a request in the networked environment from a user to create the semantic object to represent the offering, wherein the criteria specified in the metadata of the object are received from the user that requested creation of the object, wherein the criteria include semantic rules describing qualifications of the target recipients; wherein, when in operation, the host server matches the criteria specified in the metadata of the semantic object to users in the networked environment, to find users who satisfy the criteria as the target recipients; wherein, when in operation, the host server further generates multiple versions of the semantic object to represent the offering based on an example object specified by the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method of distributing, in a networked environment, an object that represents an advertisement, the method comprising:
-
creating the object to represent the advertisement to be made available for access in the networked environment, the object having metadata which specifies criteria of target recipients of the advertisement; matching the criteria specified in the metadata of the object to users in the networked environment, to find recipients who satisfy the criteria; sending the advertisement represented by the object to the recipients who satisfy the criteria; test-posting multiple versions of the object to represent the advertisement, to compute price-performance attributes of each of the multiple versions. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
