Content request by location

A system of obtaining media content of an event, comprising:

• at least one network interface;
• a memory storing a code;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the at least one network interface for executing the code, the code causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of a plurality of users, client terminals of the subset being identified based on use patterns of respective users, the use patterns comprising at least one of visited websites, past requests, and a user-indicated interest;
• sending a message to each client terminal of the subset of client terminals, the message containing a request, to present on a respective display of the client terminal, to acquire media content documenting a real-life event in a geographic location, the request comprising instructions for imaging the real-life event;
• receiving, from a first client terminal of the subset, a media content item in response to the message, the media content item being acquired by the first client terminal and the media content item documenting the real-life event;
• and
• crediting a first user associated with the first client terminal for the media content item based on a second user, associated with a second client terminal, at least one of viewing the media content item or sharing the media content item with another user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions adapted to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of a plurality of users, client terminals of the subset being identified based on use patterns of respective users, the use patterns comprising at least one of visited websites, past requests, and a user-indicated interest;
• sending a message to each client terminal of the subset of client terminals, the message containing a request, to present on a respective display of the client terminal, to acquire media content documenting a real-life event in a geographic location, the request comprising instructions for imaging the real-life event;
• receiving, from a first client terminal of the subset, a media content item in response to the message, the media content item being acquired by the first client terminal and the media content item documenting the real-life event;
• and
• crediting a first user associated with the first client terminal for the media content item based on a second user, associated with a second client terminal, at least one of viewing the media content item or sharing the media content item with another user.
