Abstract

A mobile web page shows messages with a hashtag. The page shows deep links or linkets, related to the messages's topic. If a user clicks a deep link or linket, an app is launched on the mobile device, connecting to a different device. The user interacts with a second user. The latter can be an instructor, teacher or observer. The first user can be a student. Similar steps are done for a page with an author's username, where the page shows messages by the author and the messages have hashtags. This page has a linket ad. If the ad is by the author, she can promote herself or an item sold by her or an event where she will be playing. Increasing the chance that more people will click the linket and interact with her via the linket app.
