Recommending targeted locations and optimal experience time

A computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to determine a geographic location of a user using a shared real-time location of the user;
• program instructions to identify a plurality of targeted locations within a pre-defined distance of the geographic location of the user by scraping data from one or more social media posts on a social media platform in which at least one of the plurality of targeted locations is a subject of the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to select a first photo of a targeted location of the one or more targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts, wherein the first photo of the targeted location was at least one of (1) captured at an optimal time of day to visit the targeted location (2) in an optimal weather condition to experience the targeted location and (3) from an optimal spot to capture a second photo of the targeted location;
• program instructions to determine whether the first photo has a date stamp and a time stamp;
• responsive to determining the first photo does not have the date stamp and the time stamp, program instructions to determine a date and a time the first photo was taken;
• program instructions to determine the optimal time of day to visit each of the plurality of targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to determine the optimal weather condition to experience each of the plurality of targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to determine the optimal spot to capture the second photo of each of the plurality of targeted locations, wherein the optimal spot is designated by a set of Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates and a heading, and wherein the optimal spot is located at an optimal distance and an optimal angle from which to capture the second photo at each of the plurality of targeted locations;
• program instructions to assign a ranking to each of the plurality of targeted locations based on a set of factors in a user profile of the user;
• and
• program instructions to output a recommendation with at least one of the plurality of targeted locations as an alert notification.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to determine a geographic location of a user using a shared real-time location of the user;
• program instructions to identify a plurality of targeted locations within a pre-defined distance of the geographic location of the user by scraping data from one or more social media posts on a social media platform in which at least one of the plurality of targeted locations is a subject of the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to select a first photo of a targeted location of the plurality of targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts, wherein the first photo of the targeted location was at least one of (1) captured at an optimal time of day to visit the targeted location (2) in an optimal weather condition to experience the targeted location and (3) from an optimal spot to capture a second photo of the targeted location;
• program instructions to determine whether the first photo has a date stamp and a time stamp;
• responsive to determining the first photo does not have the date stamp and the time stamp, program instructions to determine a date and a time the first photo was taken;
• program instructions to determine the optimal time of day to visit each of the plurality of targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to determine the optimal weather condition to experience each of the plurality of targeted locations from the data scraped from the one or more social media posts;
• program instructions to determine the optimal spot to capture the second photo of each of the plurality of targeted locations, wherein the optimal spot is designated by a set of Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates and a heading, and wherein the optimal spot is located at an optimal distance and an optimal angle from which to capture the second photo at each of the plurality of targeted locations;
• program instructions to assign a ranking to each of the plurality of targeted locations based on a set of factors in a user profile of the user;
• and
• program instructions to output a recommendation with at least one of the plurality of targeted locations as an alert notification.
