1. A method, comprising:
- (a) receiving, at one or more computers from a recipient mobile electronic device, recipient mobile electronic device information comprising information identifying the recipient mobile electronic device, a user of the recipient mobile electronic device, and a location corresponding to the recipient mobile electronic device;
(b) accessing, by the one or more computers, spot alert data corresponding to one or more spot alerts, the spot alert data stored on one or more electronic databases operably connected to the one or more computers, and further comprising with respect to each spot alert (i) respective spot location information, (ii) respective spot range information, (iii) respective spot comment information, (iv) respective spot approved recipient information;
(c) identifying, by the one or more computers, based on at least in part on the received recipient mobile electronic device information, a spot alert from among the spot alert data information, by determining that the recipient mobile electronic device is located within the spot range of the spot location of the spot alert; and
(d) transmitting, by the one or more computers, the respective spot location information, respective spot range information, and respective spot comment information associated with identified spot alert, to the recipient mobile electronic device for storage and potential display on said recipient mobile electronic device when the recipient mobile electronic device determines the location of the mobile electronic device to be within the spot range of the spot location.

Abstract
The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for sharing information related to a location also referred to herein as a “spot,” such as spot alerts and/or spot comments (e.g., shared information, advertisements, etc.) received, displayed, played, and/or actuated, for example, on recipient mobile electronic devices proximately located to such location (e.g., spot). Users of the system can create spot alerts in which designated recipients can receive messages, such as spot alerts and/or spot comments (e.g., shared information, advertisements, etc.) received, displayed, played, and/or actuated, for example, on respective recipient mobile electronic devices, when located within a proximity of a defined location (e.g., spot).
