Electronic content management systems and methods
First Claim
1. A system for managing electronic content, the system comprising:
- an interface operable to receive information that is to be distributed to a geographic locator address; and
an electronic content distribution module operatively coupled to the interface and operable to determine an electronic address that is uniquely associated with the geographic locator address, and to make electronic content, which comprises the received information, available through the determined electronic address.

Abstract
Electronic content management systems and methods are disclosed. Geographic locator addresses such as mailing addresses are associated with respective, unique, geo-specific electronic addresses. For example, unique electronic addresses may be generated based on information specifying geographic locator addresses. The electronic address associated with a geographic locator address, to which information is to be distributed, may then be determined, and electronic content which includes the information to be distributed can be made available through the electronic address. The geo-specific nature of the electronic addresses may also be used to make electronic content that has local significance available through an electronic address. A user system may determine a type of the electronic content obtained through an electronic address and process the electronic content according to the determined type.
