Another aspect of this invention is a website that allows users to create PXLgrams, which can be used in advertisements. The invention is also directed to the rapid transmission of a library of images in a very short period of time, and that can manipulated in to unique sets of images. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of communicating, comprising the steps of: a. selecting one or more images from a image library; b. arranging the images selected in step a in a grid having tiles arranged in rows and columns, thereby creating a first filtered set of images; c. sending an electronic communication to one or more individuals that contains a link to a webpage, wherein the webpage displays the first filtered set of images created in step b.; d. clicking on the link contained in the communication allows an individual to view the webpage displaying the first filtered set of images selected in step b.; e. selecting one or more images from the first filtered set of images and/or from other images contained in the image library and arranging them in the grid created in step b, thereby creating a second filtered set of images; and f. sending an electronic communication to one or more individuals that contains a link to a webpage, wherein the webpage displays the second filtered set of images created in step d.; wherein, steps d, e and f can be repeated indefinitely, and with every repetition creating a new filtered set of images that can be sent to any number of recipients, who can create and send more filtered sets of images. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising wherein an individual viewing the webpage displaying the set of images can also view all the images from which the set of images was selected from, and wherein the individual can then select images to create a new set of images to be sent to other individuals. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein communication containing the link to the webpage can also contain written statements, text and icons. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the number of images in a set of images that are displayed on the webpage are only limited by the technology employed by the provider of the service. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic communication is selected from the group consisting of email and social media. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the social media is selected from the group consisting of tweets, instant messages, direct messages and Facebook postings. ### Claim 7 A method of communicating, comprising the steps of: a. selecting one or more images from an image library, b. arranging the images selected in step a in a grid having tiles arranged in rows and columns thereby creating a first filtered image library; c. sending an electronic communication to one or more individuals that contains a link to a webpage, wherein the webpage displays the first filtered image library created in step b.; d. clicking on the link contained in the communication allows an individual to view the webpage displaying the first filtered image library in step b.; e. selecting one or more images from the first filtered image library and/or from the image library, wherein the filter has been deactivated and arranging them in the grid created in step b, thereby creating a second filtered image library; and f. sending an electronic communication to one or more individuals that contains a link to a webpage, wherein the webpage displays the second filtered image library created in step e.; wherein, steps d, e and f can be repeated indefinitely, and with every repetition creating a new customized filtered image library that can be sent to any number of recipients, who can create and send more filtered image libraries. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising wherein an individual viewing the webpage displaying the filtered image library can deactivate the filter to view all the images in the image library, and wherein the individual can then select images to create a new filtered image library to be sent to other individuals. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein communication containing the link to the webpage can also contain written statements, text, and icons. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the number of images in a set of images that are displayed on the webpage are only limited by the technology employed by the provider of the service. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the electronic communication is selected from the group consisting of email and social media. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the social media is selected from the group consisting of tweets, instant messages, direct messages and Facebook postings.
