1. A method of exchanging information between portable peer devices, the method comprising:
- generating a first identifier, the first identifier being associated with subject matter of a particular content selection of a first mobile device;
detecting, by the first mobile device, that a second mobile device is within a geographic proximity of the first mobile device;
receiving a second identifier from a second mobile device, the second identifier being associated with subject matter of supplemental content of the second mobile device that is related to the particular content selection of the first mobile device;
determining, based on the received second identifier, that the second mobile device contains supplemental content related to the particular content selection of the first mobile device;
receiving the supplemental content from the second mobile device;
displaying, in a graphical user interface of the first mobile device, the supplemental content in association with the particular content selection.

Abstract
A first content selection stored on a portable media device is associated with a first tag. In addition, a second tag that is associated with a second content selection and that indicates that supplemental content related to the second content selection is stored on a peer device is accessed from a peer device. The first tag is compared to the second tag, and, if a commonality shared by the first content selection and the second content selection is identified, an exchange of the supplemental content from the peer device to the portable media device is initiated.
