In one embodiment, a method includes providing a wiki interface such that users modify and add profiles of others prior to the profiles being claimed, permitting an initial claimant to control editability of a wiki portion of a selected profile when the initial claimant claims the selected profile, capturing what personally identifiable information the initial claimant is willing to submit if the selected profile is disputed, placing the selected profile in dispute when a disputing claimant challenges an ownership of the selected profile by the initial claimant, electing a dispute resolution process that communication a code through a direct mail mechanism to a physical address associated with the selected profile, and allocating the selected profile to one of the initial claimant and the disputing claimant based on entry of the code in the selected profile.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of people and business search result optimization are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a query prompt to a user to enter a search data, referencing a request of the user of a particular listing with a database and automatically creating a profile having seeded data determined through the request when the request does not have a matching record in the database. The method may further include geo-spatially mapping a location associated with the request when the request includes a location information that is in the database, simultaneously rendering a map with the profile having seeded data based on the geo-spatial mapping of the location associated with the request, creating a marker, visually representing the profile in the map and generating the marker with other markers indicating profiles of an adjacent business and residential listings to the location associated with the profile.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system of wiki groups of an online community are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes creating a profile of a unregistered user of an online community based on a publicly available data and a registered user provided data, automatically associating the unregistered user to a public group formed of matching interests identified through the publicly available data and as described by the registered user provided data with other registered users in the online community, processing a communication between registered users of the online community and the unregistered user. The method may include associating an address data with the profile based on the publicly available data and an input of the registered user, processing a postage payment and a service payment provided by a member of the public group communicating with the unregistered user through a postal mail communication.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of user-managed coupons in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes automatically applying a location meta-data to a coupon when a user provides the coupon to a geo-spatial environment based on a geographic marker of the user, storing the coupon in a library of coupons, searching the library of coupons based on the location meta-data based on a user request and flagging certain coupons in the library of coupons as being expired based on a user response. The method may further include providing an incentive to the user who provides the coupon to the geo-spatial environment in exchange of providing the coupon and/or in exchange of sharing a content meta-data that tags and identifies a source, duration, a value, and/or a description of the coupon.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of a user-generated community publication in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus of communication capture in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a plurality of user profiles, each user profile to include a specific contact code, associating a first user with a first user profile in the plurality of user profiles, selecting a second user profile in the plurality of user profiles, selecting a communication indicator associated with the second user profile, generating a communication between a first communication device and a second communication device based on the specific contact code associated with the second user profile, and archiving the communication.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system of lodging and real property in a geo-spatial mapping environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes associating a user with the real property in the geo-spatial environment when the user claims the real property, concurrently displaying a profile of the user and/or the real property in the geo-spatial environment in a map, simultaneously generating, in the map, wiki profiles associated with different real properties surrounding the real property claimed by the user and/or marking a status of the real property claimed by the user in the geo-spatial environment as being available through an indicator expressing an availability status of the real property.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of multi-occupant structure in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining that a marker (e.g., associated with a profile of a user) is colliding with another marker simultaneously displayed in a map based on an overlap area of the marker with the another marker, automatically creating a group pointer that replaces the marker and the another marker on the map and generating a view of the marker and the another marker when a user (e.g., of the geo-spatial environment) selects the group pointer.
