• a user interface configured to display interface screens on a display screen of the electronic device;
• an input mechanism configured to receive user instructions through the interface screens;
• a plurality of content items accessible by the electronic device, one or more of the plurality of content items having metadata associated therewith;
• a plurality of content sharing mechanisms accessible by the electronic device, where each of the plurality of content sharing mechanisms is configured to at least one of import and export content items over a network accessible by the electronic device;
• a plurality of profiles accessible by the electronic device, where each of the plurality of profiles includes profile instructions and is directed to at least one of the plurality of content sharing mechanisms, and where the profile instructions are configured to include geolocation information;
• a sharing component configured for display of one or more displayed content items of the plurality of content items, and further configured for user selection of selected content from the one or more displayed content items for export from the electronic device, and further configured for user selection of a selected content sharing mechanism of the plurality of content sharing mechanisms, and further configured to share the selected content through the selected content sharing mechanism;
• a metadata modification component configured to automatically select one or more relevant profiles of the plurality of profiles based on the selected content sharing mechanism, and configured to modify metadata associated with the selected content in accordance with the profile instructions of the one or more relevant profiles to generate modified metadata for the selected content sharing mechanism;
• wherein the sharing component is configured to share the selected content and the modified metadata through the selected content sharing mechanism after the metadata associated with the selected content is processed by the metadata modification component;
• and
• wherein when the profile instructions of the one or more relevant profiles include profile geolocation information, the sharing component shares the selected content with a geolocation overlay and shares the modified metadata with the profile geolocation information, such that when the geolocation overlay is selected a map is displayed showing a location given by the profile geolocation information.
