Abstract: A system for collection and distribution of curated tagged content includes a server or collection of servers in communication with one or more networks. The servers receive moment files generated by recording users via recording devices; each moment file is associated with a tagged object (e.g., physical or virtual) and includes associated media content. Each moment file is associated with recorder-side filtering via which a potential reader may be defined as an eligible or ineligible reader of the moment file. The server stores the received moment files to memory and receives indications of reading devices near an associated tagged object. The server receives indications of reading devices near a tagged object associated with a moment file; for those reading users determined eligible to read a moment file, the server forwards to their associated reading devices associated media content for display in response to engagement by the reading user.
