Abstract
Systems and methods for posting content via a network-connected communication system. A requestor may direct a content post request to a target poster. The target poster receives a notification of the content post request and is prompted to respond with a qualifying post. Constraints for a qualifying post may include, amongst other things, a predetermined time period during which the post must be submitted, preclusion of other system or application functions until submission of a qualifying post, inclusion of a photo captured by a camera integrated into the target poster's computing device, and capturing of such a photo at a geographic location proximate where the target poster received the notification. The qualifying post may be published back to the requestor and optionally other users.
