Abstract: A group definition is received via a network interface. Communications are transmitted to destinations, the communications comprising an invitation to associate with the a content sharing group. Authentication data associated with users that accept the invention is encrypted. The accepting users are associated with the content sharing group. A content gallery definition is received. A communication is received that the content gallery is to be shared with the content sharing group. The content gallery is caused to be instantiated on devices of users associated with the group. A content request for the content sharing group is received and the content request is transmitted accordingly to users associated with the group. A content item is received in response the request and the content item is transmitted to user devices associated with the group and enabled to appear in instantiations of the content gallery on the user devices.

Abstract: A content distribution facilitation system is described comprising configured servers and a network interface configured to interface with a plurality of terminals in a client server relationship and optionally with a cloud-based storage system. A request from a first source for content comprising content criteria is received, the content criteria comprising content subject matter. At least a portion of the content request content criteria is transmitted to a selected content contributor. If recorded content is received from the first content contributor, the first source is provided with access to the received recorded content. The recorded content may be transmitted via one or more networks to one or more destination devices. Optionally, a voice analysis and/or facial recognition engine are utilized to determine if the recorded content is from the first content contributor.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing content and content requests are described. A data store of profiles of potential content contributors is provided. A request from a first source for content comprising content criteria is received, the content criteria comprising content contributor characteristics and content subject matter. Based on the content contributor characteristics and the profiles, at least a first potential content contributor is identified. At least a portion of the content request content criteria is transmitted to the first potential content contributor. If recorded content is received from the first content contributor, the first source is provided with access to the received recorded content. At least partly in response to acceptance by the first source of the received recorded content, the first source is enabled to publish the accepted received recorded content.
