1. A method of tracking and synchronizing content containing images across multiple devices, including a plurality of client devices and a server, comprising:
receiving new content for which no record exists, associated with a request submitted by a user; reviewing said new content in response to the request and comparing image-content with existing content for which a record exists and which is a duplicate or related to said new content; wherein said comparing includes image analysis between the new content and the existing content; performing the request and creating a new content record corresponding to said new content; automatically completing fields within said new content record based on information contained in the new content and said image analysis as well as information about the presence of duplicate or related content which is available on the multiple devices; wherein new content without an existing record is compared with existing content having a corresponding record, and if the new content is at least similar to existing content, then the records from the existing content are utilized in completing the fields of the new content; updating the records of duplicate or related content with information about the new content associated with said new content record to synchronize all the content records; and wherein image-content resolution is determined when comparing duplicate or related content.
