Abstract

A novel paging technology allows a group of subscribers to share and take advantage of nightlife information. A service provider collects and stores such information. The information is then compared to a profile for each subscriber detailing what type of information that subscriber is interested in receiving. Information may further be screened for that relevant to an particular area where the subscriber's pager is determined to be. Information matching the interest profile and/or location of each subscriber is then transmitted to that subscriber's pager. Each subscriber's pager may include an input device, such as a virtual keyboard, so that each subscriber can submit information to the system to be shared with other subscribers.
