Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing geographically targeted information corresponding to physical objects to a plurality of community members includes creating a database of physical object profiles corresponding to a plurality of physical objects, wherein each physical object profile comprises descriptive information corresponding to a physical object and a transitory geographic location associated with the physical object. An indication of a geographic location of a community member is received. Based on this indication, one or more item profiles in the database of physical object profiles within a predetermined geographic proximity to the community member are identified. Then, the identified profiles are transmitted to the community member.
