Lastly, the user may add or remove items or services a user wants to be alerted about.

A method for generating graphic display interface, comprising: receiving an request to generate a graphic display interface comprising at least a client ID; generating a plurality of graphic data structures based on at least one of the request or a priority list, each of the graphic data structures corresponding to a identifier; associating for each of the graphic data structures, an item graphic; tagging each of the graphic data structures with one or more tags, the tagging comprises: determine that the client ID matches at least one member ID; and determine, for each of the graphic data structures, that the associated identifier has a first status, and tagging the graphic data structures with a first tag upon the determination; and associating for each of the graphic data structures based on the associated tags, one of a plurality of service graphics; and generating instruction for the graphic display interface.

A first device captures an image of an item and provides the image depicting the item, information usable to direct an electronic communication to the first device, and a textual descriptor to a host machine. The host machine is accessible by a second device. The first device receives an electronic communication from the second device regarding the image based on the information usable to direct the electronic communication to the first device that is associated with the image. The image is identifiable by the second device based on a tag for the image selected by the host machine based on the textual information. The communication is received by the first device based on a location of the first device relative to a location of the second device.

A labor marketplace exchange (LME) computing system and method are provided. The LME computing system communicates with communications devices of service providers and service users. The LME computing system receives service provider profile data from the service providers. Service users can submit service queries to the LME computing system. Based on the parameters of the service query, service providers are identified by the LME computing system. A service request is then sent to a service provider identified by the LME computing system and selected by the service user

A method and system for recommending a merchant are provided. The method includes receiving financial transaction data documenting financial transactions between a plurality of account holders and a plurality of merchants and generating a merchant correspondence matrix that includes the plurality of merchants and a plurality of indicators of interactions associated with pairs of the plurality of merchants. The plurality of indicators of interactions tallying financial transactions conducted by the plurality of account holders at both of the merchants in a pair of the plurality of merchants. The method further includes receiving a query for a recommendation of a merchant from an account holder and generating a ranked list of merchants based on a recommender algorithm. The recommender algorithm inferring user preferences from attributes of the plurality of merchants that were visited by the cardholder.

A search application can return results including item listings posted to a website. An item listing can be posted to the website in a first format for a first time period and posted to the website in a second format for a second period of time. Responsive to a query for an item, results can be displayed in both the first format and the second format in a user interface.

A computer-implemented method of making recommendations on products, services, or content such as instructional information based on information pre-entered by a user is provided. Steps may include recognizing the information of a specific plan or activity, receiving geolocation information of the user or a plan site, conducting an internet search based on the information and the geolocation, sorting and prioritizing search results based on information relating to the plan and the activities and/or profile information, and providing a list of recommendations to the user.

The present invention generally relates to web based electronic commerce systems. In particular, embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods configured to provide a three dimensional shopping cart for the display of items to be ordered by a user or group of users.
