Abstract:
Systems, methods and software that provide information to a user based upon a combination of both geographic location to the user requesting the information and a determination that the information is provided by a person that is in some way similar to the user. In other words, information is organized such that information about the author of the information is associated with the information. For example, information such as demographics, geographic background, gender, age, as well as less common types of information about the author such as hobbies, interests, memberships and the like are associated with the information. When a specific user desires to access that information, the information is presented such that information from authors who are similar in some relevant way to the specific user is preferred over information from authors who are not similar to the specific user.
