Abstract

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for targeted messaging, workflow management, and digital rights management for geofeeds, including content that is related to geographically definable locations and aggregated from a plurality of social media or other content providers. The system may facilitate targeted messaging to users who create content. The targeted messaging may be based on the content (or location related to the content) such as a request for additional information or a promotional message. The system may generate workflows that allow management of the content with respect to operational processes of an entity that wishes to use the content and facilitates the management of usage rights related to the content as well as payments related to such usage rights. For example, the system may store whether content requires permission to use the content and / or whether such permission was obtained and facilitates payment.

Problems solved by technology

However, various limitations exist with respect to how this vast amount of information can be effectively monitored and / or selectively displayed.

Because of the vast amount of information and different ways in which to communicate with users, it can be difficult to communicate with creators of the content.

Furthermore, it may be difficult to incorporate the content into operational processes of entities that wish to use the content.

For example, use of the content may require approval processes that may be difficult to manage for re-syndication or re-publication as required by law and / or terms of service of content providers.

Even when a decision to use the content is made, in many instances the content may be subject to requirements that are to be satisfied prior to using the content, which may be unknown to decision makers.

These and other problems exist.
