Systems and methods to enhance relevancy efficiency of content sharing within a meta-community through content recommendation and recipient recommendation is provided. The systems and methods analyze sharing activities within the meta-community, both of members and of un-registered users through member sharing interactions, to create sharing preference profiles for members and un-registered users. The present invention also provides systems and methods for storing shared content and for monitoring web activities. The sharing preference profiles are used to provide content recommendations in which relevant content is selected from among content previously shared in the meta-community or content predicted as highly relevant to the sharing preference profiles of meta-community members. The sharing preference profiles are also used to provide recipient recommendations based on similarities of sharing preference profiles between members or un-registered users who are socially connected to each other, such as through their electronic address books.

A system and method that enables the user to search and identify meaningful and relevant information, based upon the weighted, custom parameters provided by the user and parameters or rules defined by the community of users as a group, with the option of utilizing user profile information to tune or detune searching, comparing or contrasting, and predicting. User profile information is collected and organized with data and feedback collected from other users. The results are then tailored to a weighted, cumulative summary result, for display that benefits the contributing user and subsequent future community or user group associations (UGA). The methods provide a summary, or result, that can be tailored specifically to the user based upon weighted rules (algorithms) and parameters defined by the user (or a user group as a whole), and the weighted rules and parameters defined as meaningful by the user (group).

A user may be matched to a community or another user based on travel information such as destination, route, time to arrival and the like. Thus, a user traveling to a destination may be able to communicate with or meet other users traveling to the same destination. Other information may also be used in determining matches including habits, interests or relationship status. In one arrangement, travel information may automatically be obtained from a navigation engine while a user is traveling. The travel information may be automatically sent from the navigation engine or a communication system associated therewith to a server configured for identifying matches between users or between users and communities. A user may further set a match threshold to control the number of matches that are returned. Recommendations for restaurants, activities, hotels and the like may also be determined based on the history and profile of matching users.

Either by using GPS-collected data, or through direct user interaction with the map (e.g., a user can click on the interactive map and store information with spatial references). Preferably, all information can be added and updated via a browser or other device over the Internet. Digital photos, videos, sounds, or other multimedia content created with a mobile device with GPS capabilities can be sent directly to the website along with their with spatial reference, for sharing with a community or other individuals.

Although recording of usage data is common in scholarly information services, its exploitation for the creation of value-added services remains limited due to concerns regarding, among others, user privacy, data validity, and the lack of accepted standards for the representation, sharing and aggregation of usage data. A technical, standards-based architecture for sharing usage information is presented. In this architecture, OpenURL-compliant linking servers aggregate usage information of a specific user community as it navigates the distributed information environment that it has access to. This usage information is made OAI-PMH harvestable so that usage information exposed by many linking servers can be aggregated to facilitate the creation of value-added services with a reach beyond that of a single community or a single information service.
