Abstract

A method, apparatus and system of property billboarding and financial revenue distribution to property owner in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles associated with a specific geographic location, determining a first user profile of the user profiles, generating advertisements, determining a first advertisement of the advertisements, generating a first display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network, the first user profile of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view corresponding with the associated specific geographic location, and the first advertisement of the advertisements displayed in conjunction with the first user profile of the user profiles, and generating a commerce transaction associated with the first user profile of the user profiles.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the preference includes an advertiser, a product, and a service.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing search categories associated with the advertisements;

selecting at least one search category of the search categories;

determining a third advertisement of the advertisements associated with the at least one search category;

determining a third user profile of the user profiles associated with the third advertisement; and

generating a third display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network, the third user profile of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view corresponding with the associated specific geographic location, and the third advertisement of the advertisements displayed in conjunction with the third user profile of the user profiles.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the search categories include a preference, a location of a user profile, and a type of advertisement.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the type of advertisement is associated with at least one of a product, a service, a music clip, a movie trailer, an event, an audiovisual clip, a podcast, and a celebrity.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

generating a link between the third advertisement and a website;

selecting the link; and

generating an online transaction associated with the third advertisement.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the online transaction further comprises generating an online purchase transaction associated with the product and the service.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the online transaction further comprises generating an online order of music associated with the music clip.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the online transaction further comprises generating an online order of a movie associated with the movie trailer.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the online transaction further comprises:

generating an online reservation associated with the event; and

generating an online payment transaction associated with the online reservation.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein the online transaction further comprises generating a link associated with the celebrity.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the first advertisement is displayed in conjunction with a property representation selected from a group comprising a representation of an outside surface of a structure associated with the first user profile, a representation of an inside area of a structure associated with the first user profile, a representation of an outside property area associated with the first user profile, a wiki associated with the first user profile, and content associated with the wiki.

21. 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.

22. A system, comprising:

a geo-spatial environment;

a community network module of the geo-spatial environment, to include user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include a specific geographic location;

an advertisement module of the geo-spatial environment to generate advertisements;

a map module of the geo-spatial environment to include map data which serve as a basis to render a three-dimensional map view in the geo-spatial environment which identifies at least some of residences, businesses, and civic structures having specific geographic locations;
