As one example, a system for facilitating a market for channels is
provided that enable access to Internet users. The system comprises a
channel server including multiple channels, each of which are defined at
least in part by an activity profile associated with the channel, where
for at least one of the channels, the associated activity profile is
satisfiable by a client based upon interaction of the client with
multiple different independent websites; a search interface configured to
receive an input query and return one or more of the channels as search
results in response to the input query; and a channel tool configured to
enable portions of the search results to be selected and used to
implement a desired channel.
