Abstract

User commentary concerning a user experience is received and a user experience data card is generated for the user experience based, at least in part, upon the user commentary. The user experience data card is stored, wherein the stored user experience data card corresponds to a first view of the user experience data card and receiving a request for an experience data card from a second user. The user experience data card is provided to the second user at least in part based on the request received from the second user and receiving feedback from the second user concerning the user experience data card. A second view of the user experience data card is generated based, at least in part, upon the feedback from the second user, wherein the second view of the user experience data card is distinct form the first view of the experience data card.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by at least one of one or more computing devices, user commentary concerning a user experience from a first user;

generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a user experience data card for the user experience based, at least in part, upon the user commentary;

storing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the user experience data card, the stored user experience data card corresponding to a first view of the user experience data card that documents the first user'"'"'s participation in the user experience;

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first request for the user experience data card from a second user;

providing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the user experience data card to the second user based, at least in part, on the first request received from the second user;

receiving feedback, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, from the second user concerning the user experience data card;

altering, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, at least a portion of the first view of the user experience data card to reflect the second user'"'"'s participation in the user experience based on the feedback from the second user, by at least one of providing an image of the second user that was captured at a location associated with the experience data card at which the first user'"'"'s participation in the user experience was documented and altering, by the second user, a description of the first view of the user experience data card created by the first user;

generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a second view of the user experience data card based, at least in part, upon altering the first view, wherein the second view of the user experience data card is distinct from the first view of the experience data card;

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a second request for the user experience data card from a third user;

determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first social affinity of the third user with the first user and a second social affinity of the third user with the second user;

determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, whether to present the third user with the first view or the second view of the user experience data card based, at least in part, upon at least one of the first social affinity and the second social affinity; and

presenting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, either the first view of the user experience data card or the second view of the user experience data card to the third user.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user commentary includes text-based commentary.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user commentary includes video-based commentary.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user commentary includes audio-based commentary.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user commentary includes photographic commentary.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

enabling the second user to save the user experience data card to a user future experience list.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user experience data card is associated with geographic data.

8. A computing system comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor;

the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture executing one or more software modules, wherein the one or more software modules are configured to perform operations including;

receiving, by at least one of one or more computing devices, user commentary concerning a user experience from a first user;

generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a user experience data card for the user experience based, at least in part, upon the user commentary;

storing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the user experience data card, wherein the stored user experience data card corresponds to a first view of the user experience data card that documents the first user'"'"'s participation in the user experience;

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first request for the user experience data card from a second user;

providing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the user experience data card to the second user based, at least in part, on the first request received from the second user;

receiving feedback, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, from the second user concerning the user experience data card;

altering, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the first view of the user experience data card to reflect the second user'"'"'s participation in the user experience based on the feedback by at least one of providing an image of the second user that was captured at a location associated with the experience data card at which the first user'"'"'s participation in the user experience was documented and altering, by the second user, a description of the first view of the user experience data card created by the first user; and

generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a second view of the user experience data card based, at least in part, upon the altering of the first view, wherein the second view of the user experience data card is distinct from the first view of the experience data card;

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a second request for the user experience data card from a third user;

determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first social affinity of the third user with the first user and a second social affinity of the third user with the second user;

determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, whether to present the third user with the first view or the second view of the user experience data card based, at least in part, upon at least one of the first social affinity and the second social affinity; and

presenting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, either the first view of the user experience data card or the second view of the user experience data card to the third user.

9. The computing system of claim 8, wherein the user commentary includes text-based commentary.
