Abstract
Text, voice, and video messaging techniques and social networks are enhanced with geolocation and permissions information. Basic messaging has a publisher publishing a message and subscribers receiving the message. Permissions can limit the publisher to publishing only into certain geographic zones. Recipients within a zone receive the message and other people or devices do not. Recipients can choose to subscribe to additional geographic zones to thereby receive messages directed into that zone. Publisher and subscriber zones do not need to cover the same geographic areas. Zones can be predefined or can be dynamically created, perhaps on a per message basis.
