SHARING LIFE'S MANY CHALLENGES

The Internet is for many young and old, a treasure of resources. As audiences learn new ways to seek out its boundaries, rich content grows exponentially, accessible from almost any device. Capitalizing on demand, advertisers are developing ever increasingly rich and compelling content, while working with search engine providers to monitor and direct user behavior according to interest-based needs, surfaced by keywords, site visitation, embedded code, analytics, predictive algorithms, and artificial intelligence.

The number of increasing users coupled with growing content and applications, represents opportunities for almost everyone, irrespective of their intention. The best designed and most compelling messages redirect consumer’s attention to new and unplanned experiences while on their Internet journey. Analytics monitor search and use patterns, pinpointing interests, improving experiences, controlling interest and converting shoppers, while agencies across the world scamper to identify patterns that can preempt potentially threating behavior.

The question not yet fully addressed, as evident from hate crimes, terrorism, suicides, homelessness, education and healthcare costs, worldwide hunger, and global warming, not to mention declining church attendance and cultural Christianity, is how will the Internet best serve humanity?

Questions about medicine, healthcare, fitness, diet, economics, finance, and religion are being routinely addressed, as social circles and communities are grown and established. Internet users are drawn to consistent, compelling, and accessible experiences, brought to life by media and content. Compelling content, rich media, and data accessibility has driven the growth of the Internet and is needed to grow educational, spiritual, and healthcare guidance as well.

Gelolark aims to address this need by employing social media technology like that used in Areaedge or otherwise, to facilitate independent contribution of content, media, and messages, endorsable and sharable by educational, healthcare and spiritual advocates.

The idea central to Geolark is that as we all share common life experiences, there is an opportunity to share obstacles, lessons learned and goodwill, though posts and media creations from independent and anonymous contributors that educators, spiritual and religious leaders can review, endorse and leverage, while providing uplifting and timely peer-peer messages to those in need.

Geolark’s specific goals include:

• Developing a rich media content portal where contributors can donate Internet content benefiting spiritual and healthcare initiatives
• Creating an approval path for donated content for endorsement and use by educational, spiritual and healthcare experts
• Providing a searchable database of content for anyone to use and display
• Encouraging a responsive culture by maintaining and publishing catalogs of needed content
• Gathering and interpreting analytics to better understand and become more responsive about healthcare, spiritual, and ethical decisions that are being made
• Leverage artificial intelligence and predictive algorithms to display content to those in need, providing this can be performed in a private, ethical, and beneficial manner
• Provide a more open, educated, and relevant view of spiritual, social, and healthcare issues
• Encourage participation and interest from those in need
• Encouraging collaboration within local, national, and state circles
• Addressing social needs more effectively including hate crimes, terrorism, suicides, homelessness, cost of education and healthcare, worldwide hunger, and global warming
• Reducing the costs of isolated marketing and development efforts across educational, spiritual, and healthcare communities
• Encourage interest and funding from community and business leaders
