Abstract
A location-based and preference-based system and method for matching media content about persons, places and things with the expressed preferences of mobile users to notify users about and provide users with access to media content about persons, places and things that match the user'"'"'s expressed preferences. The system thus provides information such as stories or articles that match the user'"'"'s interests and relate to their location. The system may assign ranks to all of the media content that meets that user'"'"'s preferences wherein, in one embodiment, it will automatically play them in the assigned order. Comparison of the user'"'"'s preferences with the various profiles of the media content allows the user only to be informed of the media content for those persons, places or things that the user is likely to be interested in. The system and method thus provides for a mobile real-time point of interest exchange network.
