requesting additional information from the user to determine the content to display;

selecting appropriate and available content to display to a user;

collecting user content requests to request content from a content originator;

aggregating user content requests to request content from a content originator;

triaging user content requests to request content from a content originator;

including a keyword in the content by the content originator;

searching the content for keywords or other indicators that are pre-defined;

adding the content for keywords or other indicators that are pre-defined;

executing a pre-defined script after identifying the keyword trigger;

processing the content according to pre-defined processes; and

signaling the occurrence to overtly notify the user that content exists.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested content form the content originator is performed by an explicit action of a user.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising the step of:

providing a one-touch method for the user to explicitly request content from the content originator.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested content form the content originator is performed by an implicit action of a user.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

requesting additional explicit or implicit information.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

aggregating past and on-going content for later display from the content originator.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

prioritizing the amount of content that exists; and

comparing past behavior of other users to the current user making the request.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

excluding content to a user based on their history, behavior, class or otherwise.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

displaying content to a user based on their history, behavior, class or otherwise.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

providing an ID system for the Content Collection and Distribution System.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

initiating a machine running a program, or

downloading a mobile application to a machine capable of executing the application;

executing the application on a network or via the application which is on a local computer machine running the application, both powered by the system of the present invention.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

creating sub-content items from the content items submitted by a content provider; and

selecting specific sub-content by a user.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

searching past content using a latitude and longitude field; and

querying to determine if there is content related to the content originator related to that geography.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

presenting a general question included with the information request;

answering the question by the user;

storing the answer in a database for later use;

sorting the answer by category or topic;

providing an information request by a user to a content originator;

sorting the information request by a user to a content originator;

using the stored answer; and

determining additional information from the content originator based on the provided and stored answer.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising the step of:

receiving many requests on a specific topic;

determining the relevant content originator;

sending this request to a content originator;

receiving content in response to the request from a content originator; and

storing the content in a database.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the step of:

triaging requests that match a specific criteria;

determining the triage based on a specific keyword, topic, or based on the user; and

sending triaged requests to a content originator.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

supplying a request via audio, visual, or video input from a user;

extracting a list of content items related to a content originator that match exactly or match approximately the information supplied by the user; and

stacking the relevant content items as a query in the database, and list the sub-set of topics and/or questions to which the content relates.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

presenting the content originator with a series of questions,

requesting a topic, more questions, or the display of content by the content originator;

displaying the results;

querying a database of topics from other content originators and display this list to the content originator;

add his or her own questions by the content originator;

answering these questions and topics by the content originator; and

assigning display content to request questions and request topics.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

matching requests to past user history or data;

narrowing down the list of topics using previous logs on topics which the user has requested; and

determining the optimal content to display.

20. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

including a keyword push in the content by the content originator; and

notifying the user that content exists.

21. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

sending an information request to the content originator, where the content originator can respond;

receiving a response from the content originator with new content;

sorting the new content in the database; and

alerting a user that the new content now exists.

22. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

querying the database for content that the user has and hasn't seen;

checking against a user content history for what the user has and hasn't seen;

returning the query results for questions and topics in;

displaying the questions and or topics;

displaying content and content topics and questions that the user has not seen; and

allowing the user to see all content, regardless if he or she has seen the content previously.

23. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

using a criteria to determine if content should be displayed to the user or if additional questions or topics should be displayed to the user before content is displayed;

determining what content is available; and

using the content to create a content sub-set to determine what to display next to the User or what question to ask the User next.

24. The method of claim 23 , wherein the criteria includes:

determining the amount of content available; and

determining past user preferences.

25. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

providing a reward to the content originator for the production of content or aggregation of content which is appropriate to the user.

26. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

connecting to a third party acting as a content originator;

obtaining from the third party acting as the content originator as a result of the content request.

27. The method of claim 26 , further comprising the step of:

connecting to a third party acting as a content originator which is either: an electronic medical record, medical device, or diagnostic device; and

obtaining medical data from the electronic medical records, medical device, or diagnostic device acting as the content originator as a result of the content request.
