Abstract: The method involves aggregating post text, information about the type of content that has been posted, the post's creation time (time stamp), geographical origin (geo tag) and the username and storing it in a database. In order to search content that has been stored a web-server prompts clients for their search terms which it then parses. The webserver is programmed to identify portions of the search terms as corresponding to locations, hashtags or general search keywords. The method then involves interrogating the database to return relevant results from the vast array of social media content. The results are initially presented back to clients as links comprising markers on a map described on the screen of the client's device. The client can scroll the map view in order to also see the results in a list format. The client can then refine the results according to a number of filters.
