The host system (110) and each of the partner systems (114) provides system resources to user systems (112) having access to the host and partner systems (112), (114) using the same intercommunication means (116). Any of the partner systems (114) may act as the host system (110) depending on the sequence in which the systems are accessed by the user systems (112). The host system (110) can be an Internet website maintained by a partner that may be a provider of services or goods, such as stock brokerage, and the partner systems (114) are websites maintained by business partners of the host who may be providers of related goods or services, such as credit card provider that offers credit cards branded with the host's logo. |
