A
system and method for displaying portions of a
social network. The method can include: receiving, from a
client device, a first transmission including a first selection of a first channel including at least a portion of a map, where the first transmission includes a first identification of a selecting user account of the
social network, and where the first channel is configured to access a first layer, and where the first layer includes a first set of
social media posts; receiving, from the
client device, a second transmission including a second selection of a second channel including at least a portion of a map, where the second transmission includes a second identification of the selecting user account of the
social network, and where the second channel is configured to access a second layer, and where the second layer includes a second set of
social media posts; applying, by a computer processor, a linking operation to link the first channel and the second channel to generate an aggregated channel configured to access the first layer and the second layer; receiving, from the
client device, a request for the aggregated channel; and providing, in response to the request, the aggregated channel for display by the client device.
