Abstract

A method, system and apparatus of communication capture in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a plurality of user profiles, each user profile to include a specific contact code, associating a first user with a first user profile in the plurality of user profiles, selecting a second user profile in the plurality of user profiles, selecting a communication indicator associated with the second user profile, generating a communication between a first communication device and a second communication device based on the specific contact code associated with the second user profile, and archiving the communication.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

providing a plurality of user profiles, each user profile in the plurality of user profiles to include a specific contact code;

associating a first user with a first user profile in the plurality of user profiles;

selecting a second user profile in the plurality of user profiles;

selecting a communication indicator associated with the second user profile;

generating a communication between a first communication device and a second communication device based on the specific contact code associated with the second user profile; and

archiving the communication.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing access to the archived communication;

representing the communication as a marker in a three-dimensional map view;

simultaneously representing other user profiles adjacent to the marker; and

placing the marker in a location associated with at least one of the first user and the second user.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising generating a webpage associated with the archived communication, wherein the communication is at least one of an interview between the first user and the second user conducted through a geo-spatial social network embodying the three-dimensional map view.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising generating at least one wiki profile associated with the webpage.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a commerce transaction associated with the archived communication.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising distributing the archived communication according to a predetermined distribution plan.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising distributing the archived communication to media providers.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the archived communication via a fixed medium.

9. The method of claim 1 in a form of a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the method of claim 1

10. A system, comprising:

an integrated social-communication environment;

a contact module of the integrated social-communication environment, to include user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include a specific contact code;

a select module to select a user profile of the user profiles;

a communication module to generate a communication between a first communication device and a second communication device, wherein the communication is based on the specific contact code of the selected user profile of the user profiles; and

an archive module to archive the communication.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a publish module to publish the archived communication.

12. The system of claim 10, further comprising a webpage module to generate a webpage associated with the archived communication.

13. The system of claim 12, further comprising a wiki profile module to generate, with the webpage, at least one wiki profile associated with the webpage.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising an append module to generate, with the at least one wiki profile, content associated with the at least one wiki profile.

15. The system of claim 10, further comprising a distribution module to distribute the archived communication via a distribution channel.

16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a media module to distribute the archived communication to media providers.

17. The system of claim 10, further comprising a commerce transaction module to generate a transaction associated with the archived communication.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising a fee-based transaction module to generate a fee-based transaction associated with the archived communication.

19. The system of claim 10, further comprising a download module to provide the system on a communication device.

20. An integrated social-communication environment, comprising:

a first instruction set to enable a social network, to include a user database, the user database to include associated user profiles, the social network associated with contact data, in which the social network is associated with specific contact codes in the contact data;

a second instruction set integrated with the first instruction set to select a user profile of the user profiles, the user profile to include a specific contact code identifiable in the contact data;

a third instruction set integrated with the first instruction set and the second instruction set to generate a communication, between a first communication device associated with a first user profile in the user profiles and a second communication device associated with a selected second user profile in the user profiles, the communication path based on the specific contact code associated with the selected user profile; and

a fourth instruction set integrated with the first instruction set and the second instruction set and the third instruction set to archive the communication.

21. The integrated social-communication environment of claim 20, further comprising a fifth instruction set to provide accessibility to the archived communication.

22. The integrated social-communication environment of claim 20, further comprising a sixth instruction set to distribute the archived communication.

23. A system, comprising:

a first communication device to include;

a contact module of an integrated social-communication environment, to include user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include an associated specific contact code;

a select module to select a user profile of the user profiles;

a communication module, to generate a communication, between the first communication device and a second communication device associated with a selected user profile; and

an archive module to archive the communication.

24. The system of claim 23, wherein the first communication device includes at least one of a personal computer, a mobile phone, and a personal digital assistant.

25. The system of claim 24, further comprising a display page associated with the archived communication.

26. The system of claim 25, wherein the display page further comprises a webpage.

27. The system of claim 26, further comprising at least one wiki profile associated with the display page.

28. The system of claim 27, further comprising content appended to the at least one wiki profile.
