1. A method for presenting to a user at a station connected to a distributed computer network, relevant areas of distributed computer network sites, comprising, the steps of:
- receiving across the distributed computer network an indication of a mind set of the user in navigating the network, wherein the mind set indicates a navigational goal of the user over the distributed computer network;
cross-referencing the indicated user mind set with a mind set data store of potential user goals to find at least one indicated goal;
cross-referencing the indicated user goal with a service data store of a set of services, the set of services potentially reflecting the navigational goal of the user mind set;
matching the set of services in the cross-referencing step with a list of service providers that provide the set of services that potentially reflect the navigational goal of the user; and
,displaying the list of services and service providers to the user at the station.

-
a mind set data store that stores a set of potential user goals;
a service data store that stores a set of services; and
,a processor that receives from the user an indication of a user mind set in navigating the network, wherein the mind set indicates a navigational goal of the user over the distributed computer network, the processor cross-references the indicated mind set with the potential user goals in the mind set data store, cross-references the indicated user goal with the set of services potentially reflecting the navigational goal of the user, matches the set of cross-referenced services with a list of service providers that provide that set of services, and displays the list of services and service providers to the user at the station. - View Dependent Claims (20)
