System and method for providing a visually based social network

Abstract

An engine, system and method for a domain social network that interconnects Internet users with at least domains owned by or of interest to those Internet users, and that may obtain and/or forward obtained dynamic data regarding those domains automatically, such as by web service or email service. The dynamic data may be used to filter and protect content and data of the respective domains, to protect users by identifying low quality web pages or malicious software or pages, to isolate or improve search results regarding the domain, and/or to improve Internet-based transaction flow, such as the creation of advertising.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for providing a domain social network, comprising:
 interconnecting, by a first aspect of a backend engine, Internet node points with at least first domains owned by ones of the Internet node points;   interconnecting, by a second aspect of the backend engine, others of the Internet node points with at least second domains of interest to the others of the Internet node points;   obtaining, by the backend engine, dynamic data regarding at least the first and second domains and at least one user associated content; and   receiving, by a portable front end, the dynamic data from the backend engine, and receiving forwarded ones of the dynamic data from the backend engine via at least one of a web service and an email service and display the at least one item;   wherein the dynamic data is indicative of at least one aspect suitable for the targeted delivery of at least one item for display to the at least one user;   wherein the dynamic data is filtered based on at least one user metric provided from the at least one of a web service and an email service;   wherein the portable front end receives data entry from the at least one user; and   wherein the data entry comprises at least one or more of the following: follow a domain, check a domain, and like a domain.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one user metric comprises a listing of user visited URLs.

         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic data is selectively added to at least one database. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic data comprises information associated with the number of URLs located in at least one communications stream. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein at least one frequency score related to the number of URLs is calculated.
