| 20090216857 | METHODS OF PROVIDING PUBLISHED CONTENT - Methods of providing published content are presented. Content providers, including advertisers, can have their network addresses become black listed through no fault of their own. Content providers can utilize one or more intermediary providers each having their own distinct network address, possibly a registered domain name. An advertiser or other content provider can engage members of a distribution channel to disseminate promotional information to consumers where the promotional information comprises a network address of the intermediary provider. Upon a request directed toward the network address, the intermediary transforms published content obtained from the primary provider to make the content appear as though it originated from the intermediary provider. Should a black listing event occur, only the intermediary provider would be affected. An updated or new intermediary provider having a new, distinct network address can be instantiated to replace the black listed provider. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100036925 | ALIAS MANAGEMENT PLATFORMS - Systems and methods of managing alias are disclosed. An alias management system can provide for creating distribution lists comprising one or more addresses. A list owner can utilize the system to retain ownership and control of the addresses by creating aliases for the list. Additionally, an alias policy can be established that includes rules and metrics that govern the use of the alias. The alias can be provided to alias users or members of a message distribution chain, preferably in exchange for a fee. The alias users can then use the alias to send message content, while the system can enforce the alias usage policy or provide an auditing trail on how the alias is used. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100077053 | Alias Management Platforms and Methods - Systems and methods of managing aliases are disclosed. An alias management system can be configured to offer access to one or more aliases that point to distribution lists, where aliases can be managed as distinct objects relative to distributions lists or addresses. An alias user can submit desirable criteria for content distribution chain that includes properties of a desirable alias. An alias management server can be used to identify distributions lists that satisfy at least some of the desirable criteria. Additionally, an alias can be created that adheres to at least some of the properties or attributes of the desirable alias. Alias users can be permitted to utilize the alias subject to any rules or polices in place. | 03-25-2010 |
