A computer system comprises a computer server configured to communicate via a communication network to user computer devices including a target user computer device of a target user. Coupled to the computer server is a processor having access to social network data, user browser data of the target user, relationship data, and content data. The processor is configured to provide dynamically determined targeted content to be communicated to the target user computer device. The processor implements a recommendation service configured to analyze context of the target user based on browse history of the target user computer device, behavior data of the target user, demographic information of the target user, and social network momentum data. The recommendation service includes a social momentum recommendation engine configured to recommend the targeted content based on an amount of social momentum of content independent of and distinct from the browser data of the target user.

Methods of generating recommendations may include obtaining social network data from one or more network resources. Word relationships may be created between selected words in the social network data to produce relationship data. Advertisement or other asset recommendations may be generated for a target user by analyzing browse information of the target user to identify one or more words. Other words in the relationship data may be identified that are related to the words in the target user's browse information. One or more advertisements may be identified having at least one keyword that corresponds to the other words. At least a portion of these advertisements may be selected from a data repository to provide to the target user.

Systems and methods for targeted advertising

A VoIP-enabled communications system monitors abuse criteria for web initiated telephone calls. A hyperlink in user interface code allows a web-based user to initiate a telephone call to a target telephone number associated with the hyperlink, particularly to merchants of goods and services. If the user clicks on the hyperlink, the target telephone number will be provided to the communications application to facilitate making a telephone call. However, before the call is connected, the user enter a telephone number where the system will call back to bridge the call, and abuse criteria relative to the web-based user's telephone number are evaluated. If the abuse criteria are met, then the call is not connected. For example, one abuse criterion counts the number of times that calls back to the user go unanswered. Another abuse criterion counts the number of times that the target telephone number has been called. If abuse criteria are met, then a voice connection is precluded. Multiple levels of restrictions can be imposed on either the web-based user's telephone number or the target telephone number for repeated violations of the abuse criteria.
