Abstract

A method may include receiving from a first device: a media file; data comprising information identifying a location associated with the media file; storing the media file and data in a database; receiving from a second device information identifying a location of the second device; determining a geographic radius of the second device based upon user selection; determining if one or more media files stored in the database are associated with a location in the geographic radius of the second device; and sending the one or more media files to the second device.

         8 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the current location of the mobile computing device is periodically determined. 
     
     
         9 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the location associated with the one or more video files comprises one or more related physical locations. 
     
     
         10 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the client application is further operable to, receive from the user, an indication to skip playing of one of the one or more video files. 
     
     
         11 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the client application is further operable to transmit the current location to a server. 
     
     
         12 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the client application is further operable to update the geographic map displayed on the mobile computing device based on a change in a location of the mobile computing device. 
     
     
         14 . The client application of  claim 1 , wherein the location associated with the one or more video files is the location at which the one or more video files were created. 
     
     
         15 . A client application on a non-transitory computer readable medium and executable on a mobile phone, the client application operable to:
 receive, from a first user of the mobile phone, log in information;   determine a current location of the mobile phone;   display a geographic map on the mobile phone;   display a first indicator on the geographic map, the first indicator indicative of the current location of the mobile phone;   display a second indicator on the geographic map, the second indicator indicative of a first location associated with a first video file created by a second user;   display a third indicator on the geographic map, the third indicator indicative of a second location associated with a second video file created by a third user;   receive, from a server database, the first video file; and   play, on the mobile phone, the first video file.   
     
     
         16 . The client application of  claim 15 , wherein the client application if further operable to:
