Abstract
The present application relates to the use of mobile devices for viewing and publishing location-based user information. One example allows a user of a mobile device to access content associated with a virtual version of an entity that exists at a physical location regardless of a location of the mobile device. This example enables the user to submit content to the virtual version when the mobile device is proximate the physical location.
