## Abstract

A computer implemented method and a system for assigning a location to a not exceeding 140-character textual post for retrieving user generated textual posts, includes: associating a location tag with the 140-character textual post within one or more communities, each community having a specific geographical location and social context; storing the associated location tag and 140-character textual post in one or more databases; searching the one or more databases for one or more other associated location tagged 140-character textual posts; and displaying the one or more other associated location tagged 140-character textual posts.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer implemented method of assigning a location to a not exceeding 140-character textual post for retrieving user generated textual posts, comprising
associating a location tag with the 140-character textual post within one or more communities,
each community having a specific geographical location and social, context;
storing the associated location tag and 140-character textual post in a community specific database;
searching the one or more databases for one or more other associated location tagged 140-character textual posts; and
displaying the one or more other associated location tagged 140-character textual posts.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the location tag for content search is based on the user's choice of a named location or on a radial distance from the user's geographic coordinates (a pair of latitude and longitude)

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the 140-character textual post falls within a category of a SAY, an ASK, an, UPDATE, or a HASHTAG.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each location tag is based on a user's exact geographical latitude and longitude coordinates, a nearby user's geographical named location, or any other geographical named location as may be selected by the user.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each associated location tag and 140-character textual post is stored in a community specific database.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each associated location tag for a 140-character textual post assigned is a geographical named location or a pair of latitude and longitude geographical coordinates.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each user has an ability to search and view all associated location tagged 140-character textual posts from the one or more databases through a named location as chosen by a user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each user has an ability to define a range in miles or meters for searching and viewing the associated location tagged 140-character text messages from the one or more community specific databases.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein each user has an ability to search and view all associated location tagged 140-character textual posts in the one or more community specific databases within a radial range as defined by the user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2)

The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein each user has an ability to search and view “Nearby” SAYS and “Nearby” SAYS posted to specific ASKS in the one or more community specific databases within a radial range as defined by the user that only match to a new ASK being posted within a specific community.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein each user has an ability to search and view “Nearby” ASKS in the one or more community specific databases within a radial range as defined by the user that only match to a new SAY being posted within a specific community.

### Claim 12 (depends on 2)

The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein each user has an ability to search and view a specific category of associated location tagged 140-character textual posts in the one or more community specific databases within a radial range as defined by the user or by a named location specified by the user.
