Abstract

La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés qui permettent à un utilisateur d'obtenir des listes de contenus multimédia associés à un emplacement géographique particulier. Lesdites listes de contenus multimédia peuvent être sélectionnées automatiquement en fonction, par exemple, de données de consommation de multimédia qui suivent les contenus multimédia consultés par d'autres utilisateurs. Les listes de contenus multimédia peuvent être celles qui sont associées au contenu multimédia le plus en vogue et consulté à l'emplacement géographique par des utilisateurs qui ne proviennent pas de l'emplacement géographique en question (par exemple, des personnes de passage en provenance de l'emplacement géographique où se trouve l'utilisateur actuel ou dans lequel il réside).
