receive at least a portion of the location data in the digital diary in response to identifying the digital diary.
2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital diary is identified by
a match between current geographic coordinates of the mobile device and geographic coordinates stored in the digital diary.
3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital diary is identified by at least one of:
a match between a photograph of the location taken by the mobile device and a photograph of the location in the digital diary; and
a match between the current geographic location of the mobile device and a geographic location associated with a data item stored in the digital diary.
4. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein, when the digital diary is identified, the processor is further configured to display information associated with the digital diary on the mobile device, the information associated with the digital diary being of:
the at least the portion of the location data in the digital diary received; or
an indication that the digital diary is available.
5. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is displayed on the mobile device is derived from a search based on a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters including at least two of:
recognition of a face in a photograph in the digital diary;
recognition of a face at the location;
matching of a location in the digital diary with the location of the mobile device; and
matching of an interest recorded in the digital diary with an interest of an owner of the mobile device.
6. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is displayed on the mobile device differs depending on at least one of:
the current location of the person;
the current time of day; and
the current time of year.
7. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary is at least one of:
made available for no charge;
made available for purchase; and
made temporarily available for a rental fee.
8. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the digital diary contains information related to a group to which the person belongs, and wherein an indicator indicating membership in the group is displayed when the information associated with the digital diary is displayed.
9. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital diary contains information related to an interaction that was performed by the person and that was automatically recorded in the digital diary.
10. A method for a mobile device comprising:
identifying digital diary, in a repository of a plurality of digital diaries, associated with a person who currently is or previously has been present at a location currently occupied by the mobile device based on location data contained in the digital diary, and
receiving, by the mobile device, at least a portion of the location data in the digital diary, in response to identifying the digital diary.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the location data is at least one of:
a photograph of the current location that matches a photograph of the current location taken by the mobile device; and
geographic coordinates that match current geographic coordinates of the mobile device.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
upon identifying the digital diary, displaying on the mobile device information associated with the digital diary, the information being at least one of:
the at least the portion of the location data in the digital diary; and
an indication that the digital diary is available.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is displayed on the mobile device is derived from a search based on a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters including at least two of:
recognition of a face in a photograph in the digital diary;
recognition of a face at the location;
matching of a location in the digital diary with the location of the mobile device; and
matching of an interest recorded in the digital diary with an interest of an owner of the mobile device.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is displayed on the mobile device differs depending on at least one of:
the current location of the person;
the current time of day; and
the current time of year.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary is at least one of:
made available for no charge;
made available for purchase; and
made temporarily available for a rental fee.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the digital diary contains information related to a group to which the owner belongs, and wherein an indicator indicating membership in the group is displayed when the information associated with the digital diary is displayed.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the digital diary contains information related to an interaction that was performed by the owner and that was automatically recorded in the digital diary.
18. A network component, comprising:
a processor configured to:
identify a digital diary, in a repository of a plurality of digital diaries associated with a person who currently is or previously has been present at a location currently occupied by a mobile device based on location data contained in the digital diary; and
in response to identifying the digital diary, send at least a portion of the location data in the digital diary to the mobile device.
19. The network component of claim 18 , wherein the digital diary is identified by
a match between current geographic coordinates of the mobile device and geographic coordinates stored in the digital diary.
20. The network component of claim 18 , wherein the digital diary is identified by at least one of:
the network component matching a photograph of the location received from the mobile device with a photograph of the location in the digital diary; and
the network component matching the current geographic location of the mobile device, as received from the mobile device, with a geographic location associated with a data item stored in the digital diary.
21. The network component of claim 18 , wherein, when the digital diary is identified, the network component sends information associated with the digital diary to the mobile device, the information being at least one of:
the at least the portion of the location data in the digital diary; and
an indication that the digital diary is available.
22. The network component of claim 21 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is sent to the mobile device is derived from a search based on a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters including at least two of:
recognition of a face in a photograph in the digital diary;
recognition of a face at the location;
matching of a location in the digital diary with the location of the mobile device; and
matching of an interest recorded in the digital diary with an interest of an owner of the mobile device.
23. The network component of claim 21 , wherein the information associated with the digital diary that is sent to the mobile device differs depending on at least one of:
