Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for incentivizing creation of user-generated content, the method comprising: identifying one or more points of interest for including in a notification to a user based at least on a location of a client device associated with the user and user interest signals that associate the points of interest with the user; scoring each of the identified one or more points of interest by comparing the user interest signals of the identified one or more points of interest used to identify the one or more points of interest; identifying a most relevant point of interest from the scored one or more points of interest; determining a notification type that corresponds to the most relevant point of interest and the user interest signal associated with the most relevant point of interest; generating a notification including the most relevant point of interest and the user interest signal, according to the determined notification type; providing the generated notification to the user; determining whether the user acts on the provided notification; and sending a subsequent notification asking the user to generate content for the most relevant point of interest, in a case the user acts on the provided notification.
