1. A system for targeted information dissemination based on network interaction, the system comprising:
at least one processor, the at least one processor in network communication with (i) a network service computing device associated with a network service, (ii) a monitoring device for monitoring the network service computing device for a posted digital media ranking, and (iii) a communications device for transmitting targeted information to a user; and
at least one storage storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
requesting, using the monitoring device and via application programming interface (API) calls to the network service computing device, a digital media report of a plurality of digital media objects, wherein the digital media report includes one or more of a current ranking of a digital media object representing an item or a comment associated with the digital media object;
receiving, using the monitoring device, the digital media report from the network service;
analyzing, using the monitoring device, the digital media report to identify the comment associated with the digital media object;
retrieving, using the monitoring device, item data including a link associated with the item responsive to identifying the comment; and
transmitting, using the communications device and via the network service computing device, the item data including the link associated with the item to a computing device associated with the user to assist the user in obtaining the item.
