Abstract
A system is provided. The system comprises a computer system and an application that, when executed on the computer system, creates a virtual private site in response to a request from a first portable electronic device, the site storing and displaying electronic content posted by the first device. The application also receives a first message from the first device containing a request to authorize a second portable electronic device to access content from the virtual private site and associates a unique identifier for the second device with a credential for the second device. The system also receives a second message containing a request from the second device to access electronic content from the virtual private site. The system also verifies the unique identifier received in the second message, verifies the credential received in the second message, and transmits the electronic content to the second portable from the virtual private site.
