MACHINE-MODERATED MOBILE SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR MANAGING QUERIES

摘要

Systems and methods of a machine-moderated mobile social networking for managing queries are disclosed here. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of receiving queries from a mobile device and intelligently distributing the queries among users that are deemed suitable to provide useful insight to the queries. The queries are typically questions asked by potential patrons regarding specific venues, patrons looking for specific businesses and/or events that fit their specific criteria, by way of example but not limitation, geography, locale, type of cuisine, ambience, music, etc. In most instances, a consumer can send the query from a portable device (e.g., cell phone, Blackberry, telephone, iPhone, Treo, etc.) in various formats (e.g., SMS text, voice call, USSD message, IM, and/or email, etc.) to a predetermined phone number and/or other types of address identifiers.
