Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable users to provide explicit declarations that are used to generate recommendations for the users. An explicit declaration is received from a user of a user device. The explicit declaration is configured to influence a subsequent recommendation. The words of the explicit declaration are processed to generate a record. A recommendation rule is generated based on the generated record. The recommendation rule is executed to generate a recommendation for the user. The generated recommendation is provided to the user.

Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern dynamically expiring crowd-sourced content (CSC) in a crowd-sourced database. An example apparatus may include logic for acquiring the CSC, where the CSC is data produced by a mobile device concerning a point of interest. The example apparatus also includes logic for producing an evaluation of the CSC and logic for determining an expiration criteria based on the CSC, the evaluation, and the user. The CSC may be data about a point of interest. The evaluation may be based on the completeness, timeliness, or contents of the CSC. The expiration criteria may be established based on the evaluation of the CSC and a user profile. The expiration criteria or user profile may be manipulated based on confirmation or repudiation of the CSC by a different user or by curation of the CSC.

Abstract: Mobile device generated sharing of media is disclosed. A user of a first device may obtain transferable limited rights to selected media by initiating transfer of a token from a first digital media service to the first device. The token may then be transferred from the first device to a second device. Upon transfer of the token to the second device a user of the second device may then use the token to access the selected media and direct the streaming of the selected media according to the limited rights included in the token. The limited rights that are transferred may include various limitations on use such as, for example, proximity restrictions on where the first and/or second device must be located for the rights to remain valid, or, restrictions including time or usage limitations. Violations of the restrictions or usage limitations may result in the limited rights being terminated.

Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern rewarding a user for making a contribution to a crowd-sourced database. An example apparatus may include logic for acquiring the contribution, where the contribution is data produced by a mobile device concerning a point of interest. The example apparatus also includes logic for producing an evaluation of the contribution and logic for providing a reward based on the contribution, the evaluation, and the user. The contribution may be data about a point of interest. The evaluation may be based on the completeness, timeliness, or contents of the contribution. The reward may be selected based on the evaluation of the contribution and a profile of the user. The reward or user profile may be manipulated based on confirmation or repudiation of the contribution by a different user contribution or by curation of the contribution. Providing the contribution may be free to the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for determining a meeting location. A group of persons to meet is determined. A conjoined interest set is generated that is representative of the group of persons. Locations of persons in the group are determined to determine a plurality of locations. Local search results for the group of persons are received that are generated based on the conjoined interest set and the determined plurality of locations. The local search results include at least one potential meeting location. The local search results are enabled to be presented to at least one person of the group of persons.
