Claim:
1. A geographic-based message storage and delivery method, comprising steps of: determining a longitude and latitude of a first mobile transmission device; at a server, receiving from said first mobile transmission device a message retrieval request; determining if messages generated within a predefined x and y distance from said longitude and latitude of said first mobile transmission device have previously been stored in a tangible storage medium associated with said server; selecting from said messages previously stored in said tangible data storage medium at least one said stored message generated within said pre-defined x and y distance of said first mobile transmission device, wherein said at least one selected message originated from at least a second mobile transmission device; if a location associated with at least said second mobile transmission device is presently unknown or has changed, polling said second mobile transmission device for a present longitude and latitude; and transmitting at least one said selected message, generated by said second mobile transmission device within said pre-defined x and y distance, from said data storage medium to said first mobile transmission device; wherein said transmitting comprises transmitting to said first mobile transmission device, together with said at least one said selected message transmitted to said first mobile transmission device, a Cartesian coordinate pair specifying a position at which said message was displayed on a screen of said second mobile transmission device for reproduction of a position at which said at least one selected message should be displayed on a second screen associated with said first mobile transmission device.
