Virtual notes are provided that enable virtual communications between users. A user is enabled to input content into a note using an electronic device. The user is enabled to associate a virtual representation of the note with an entity to generate a virtual note. The user is enabled to position the virtual representation of the virtual note in a virtual space superimposed on the entity. The user is enabled to configure at least one attribute associated with the virtual note. The generated virtual note is transmitted to a notes database. Subsequent users can view and otherwise interact with the virtual note by interacting with the entity associated with the virtual note. For example, the subsequent users can interact with the virtual note by approaching the entity, or by viewing the entity on a map displayed by an electronic device.

The embodiments described show that wireless devices can be used to distribute and/or to endorse (or promote) advertisements (ads) by individuals and by ad distributors. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method of forwarding an advertisement received on a first mobile device to a second mobile device is provided. The method includes sending the advertisement to the first mobile device, and detecting forwarding of the advertisement from the first mobile device to the second mobile device. The method also includes determining if the advertisement that was forwarded to the second mobile device includes an endorsement for the advertisement. The endorsement was generated at the first mobile device. The method further includes monitoring activity on the second mobile device regarding the advertisement when the advertisement includes the endorsement and when the advertisement does not include the endorsement.

An advertising system associates advertisements with virtualized real-estate on a map image. Virtualized real-estate includes locations on a map image that correspond to real world locations associated with a user, such as a home, business, or other location. The system matches a user's virtualized real-estate with advertisements based on user preferences, advertiser preferences, and tracking information. The system also allows users to auction off virtualized real-estate to advertisers. Thereafter, advertisements matched with virtualized real-estate are overlaid on the virtualized real-estate in the map image.

Systems and methods for optimizing webpage content based on a screen orientation of a device are disclosed. Generally, a plurality of content chunks comprising a webpage to be displayed on a device is identified. An indication of a screen orientation of the device is received and webpage content to be displayed on the device is modified based at least in part on the screen orientation of the device, the identified plurality of content chunks, and a focus priority associated with each content chunk of the plurality of content chunks.

A system and method which may generate and/or maintain a signature profile for a user. The signature profile may be a representation or a symbol of a user which may yield to different kinds of searches. A signature processor server may generate an initial signature profile with user-supplied materials, including but not limited to: audio clips, video clips, and images. A crawler server may use the initial signature profile to mine the Internet, obtain web content relevant to the initial signature profile, and present the relevant web content to the user. The signature processor server may receive the user's feedback on the relevant web content so as to update and refine the signature profile.

Multiple entities are tracked over periods of time and information concerning these entities are collected. For each entity, the entities associated with the entity and the types of associations are determined. One or more entities of interest is/are identified. Different weights are assigned to the entities on the trajectories connecting with the entity or entities of interest based on their associations with the entity or entities of interest and their positions on the trajectories. Selected entities are ranked and surfaced based on their total weights for the entity or entities of interest.
