         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the outputting of the at least one advertisement to each individual of the plurality of individuals is further based on at least one present geographic location of such individual. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the matching is further based on a similarity ranking. 
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 at least one specialized computer machine, comprising:   a non-transient memory having at least one region for storing particular computer executable program code; and   
       at least one processor for executing the particular program code stored in the memory, wherein the particular program code comprises:
 code to request, from each individual of a plurality of individuals, utilizing a first specially programmed software application interface, a consent to obtain an individual social media profile data; 
 code to electronically obtain, based on the consent, the individual social media profile data for each individual of the plurality of individuals from at least one social media electronic data source; 
 code to determine, for each individual from the plurality of individuals, at least one individual specific parameter associated with such individual based, at least in part, on the individual social media profile data; 
 wherein the at least one individual specific parameter associated with each individual is based on:
 i) at least one geographic identifier associated with a geographic location where such individual resides, 
 ii) an age group associated with such individual, 
 iii) a gender group associated with such individual, or 
 iv) any combination thereof; 
 
 code to match, for each individual from the plurality of individuals, the at least one individual specific parameter associated with each individual to at least one segment identifier from a plurality of segment identifiers stored in at least one population electronic data source; 
 wherein the plurality of segment identifiers is generated based on a predetermined segmentation of a target population of individuals; 
 wherein the predetermined segmentation is based on:
 i) postal identifiers associated with a particular geographic locality, 
 ii) age, 
 iii) gender,
