1. A system for publishing digital content comprising:
- a beacon device associated with a first user configured to repeatedly transmit position information indicating the current position of the beacon device, and identification information identifying the beacon; and
a browsing device including a display configured and adapted to display to a second user a representation of a local geographical area, and to selectively display to the second user based at least in part on whether the location of the beacon device is within the local geographical area, content information associated with the first user.

- 4. A system for publishing digital content comprising a browsing device including a display configured and adapted to display to a first user a representation of a local geographical area and content information associated with a second user, wherein the content information is displayed selectively based at least in part on the location of the second user as determined by a beacon device associated with the second user.
- 14. A method for publishing digital content comprising displaying with a browsing device to a first user a representation of a local geographical area and content information associated with a second user, wherein the content information is displayed selectively based at least in part on the location of the second user as determined by a beacon device associated with the second user.

24. A system for publishing digital content comprising:
-
a receiver system adapted and configured to repeatedly receive from a beacon device associated with a first user transmissions of position information indicating the current position of the beacon device; a processing system configured and adapted to calculate the position of the beacon device based at least in part on the received transmissions of position information, and link content information associated with the first user with the calculated position; and a transmission system adapted and configured to selectively transmit the content information to a browsing device configured and adapted to display to a second user a local geographical area and the content information, the content information being selectively displayed based at least in part on whether the calculated position is within the local geographical area. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method for publishing digital content comprising:
-
repeatedly receiving from a beacon device associated with a first user, position information indicating the current position of the beacon device; and transmitting to a second user using a browsing device, a representation of a local geographical area and content information associated with the first user, wherein the content information can be displayed selectively based at least in part on whether the location of the beacon device is within the local geographical area. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

- 36. A system for publishing digital content comprising a beacon device associated with a first user configured to repeatedly transmit to a landscape service position information indicating the current position of the beacon device, such that the landscape service is capable of selectively transmitting content information associated with the first user to a browsing device selectively based at least in part on whether the beacon device is positioned within a geographical area local to the browsing device.
- 44. A method for publishing digital content comprising repeatedly transmitting to a landscape service with a beacon device associated with a first user, position information indicating the current position of the beacon device, such that the landscape service is capable of selectively transmitting content information associated with the first user to a browsing device selectively based at least in part on whether the beacon device is positioned within a geographical area local to the browsing device.
