Embodiments may search a user's social media connections and friend's lists for associates of the user that may have interacted with, commented about or used one or more of the geofences. As a function of the social influences of the user's associates, the disclosed systems, methods and tools may calculate a rating for each geofence based on the popularity of the geofence or probability that the user may enjoy interacting with the geofence. Embodiments may prioritize the transmission of the geofences being downloaded to the user's client device as a function of the ratings assigned, therefore downloading and displaying the most popular geofences and/or the geofences most likely to appeal to the user first."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Geofence prioritization","description":"Systems, methods and tools for prioritizing the transmission of geofences based on the social influences and interactions with the geofences previously performed or discussed by associates of a user.
