Abstract
A system for storing retrieving and presenting messages where the messages are associated with a physical location. The content of the messages can include all types of media, text, pictures, audio, video and raw data. Messages can be standalone messages or messages with any number of additional messages attached to them. The messages associated with physical locations are created by users of a variety of end device types such as smart phones or portable or stationary computing devices. Users search for messages while providing a physical location. Messages that are associated with a location that is within a specified distance of the provided location will be displayed by the end device. Some messages can be configured such that the associated location of the message changes automatically and periodically, giving the message the appearance of movement.
