A method and/or system allows a user of a social networking service to publish a content item tagged with location information for sharing with other users of the social networking service. The user publishing the content item performs operations on the originating device to generate the content item.

Segmented community flyers are predicated upon segmented communities. Segmented communities are for those web-based users that appreciate the distinction between their 'real life' friends in their local geographic communities and their 'cyberspace' contacts, many of whom they have never met in person. Further, those web-based users that do appreciate their &#x201c;real life&#x201d; friends in their local geographic communities need a way of communicating to many of these &#x201c;real life&#x201d; friends at once, without having to spend time preparing and sending multiple emails. Segmented community flyers advantageously accomplish such communication.
