Abstract: Provided are a system and method for determining at least one optimal shared economy candidate for a user. In one example, the method includes receiving, via a web browser, user attributes comprising two or more of property assets of the user, adherency information, trust information, motivation information, and psychological information, of a user, receiving, via the web browser, a user schedule comprising periods of availability of the user with respect to a predetermined period of time, executing an actionable workforce optimization engine which receives, as input, a plurality of shared economy candidates, the user attributes, and the user schedule, and determines an optimal shared economy candidate for the user from among the plurality of shared economy candidates based on the inputs, and outputting information about the determined optimal shared economy candidate for display on a display device.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems for providing viewers of a digital image with information about identifiable and scenes within the image. In an embodiment, digital images, uploaded to a host website, are customized through the incorporation of some number of selectable informational links and other text based information to provide viewers of the image real-time access to social and advertising related information regarding certain identifiable objects and scenes in the image. The selectable information links are incorporated within and around the digital image in a process referred to herein as image tagging.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for forwarding location dependent messages from a first user's mobile device over a wireless communication network to a second user's mobile device, via a central server.
