1. A system for aggregating and distributing geotagged content, comprising:
- a server having a network connection;
a storage accessible by the server;
a user interface comprising a representation of a geographic location, the user interface in electronic communication with a user computer and providing for identification of a spatial area relative to the representation of a geographic location;
a formatter for formatting a request for geotagged content; and
a filter for filtering geotagged content;
wherein information related to format preferences for at least one of a plurality of content providers is stored on said storage;
wherein the server requests geotagged content relevant to the identified spatial area from the plurality of content providers, at least one of the requests having been formatted by the formatter; and
wherein the geotagged content received from the plurality of content providers in response to the requests is aggregated, filtered by the filter, and distributed over a network to the user computer.
