ABSTRACT:
A user may use a mobile device to request information related to a selected topic or a point of interest. A location of the mobile device may be determined in order to provide the user with informational content related to the selected topic or point of interest in close proximity to the user. The mobile device may receive and display the informational content as a set of search results. The user may select one or more of the search results in order to review the information content referenced by the selected one or more search results. A verification process or step may ensure that the selected information is relevant to the selected topic or determined location, and a link may be generated relating the topic, the selected search result(s), and the determined mobile device location. Moreover, a rating system may be used to provide an indication of the relevancy of one or more search results. Thereafter, additional users, or the same users, may be provided access to the link when located in close proximity to the determined location.
