Abstract:
There are provided systems and methods for detecting location data of co-located users having a common interest. A interest may be determined for a first user, which may correspond to a subject matter (e.g., item, action, or other matter) that the first user has recently expressed interest in. A location of the first user may be determined for the user and, using the location, nearby users to the first user may be located. Using the nearby users, a service provider may determine whether any of the nearby users shared the interest in common with the first user. For example, a second user may have knowledge of the interest of the first user. Based on the knowledge that the second user has in the interest, the first user and the second user may be connected. The users may receive communication information and/or locations of the other user.
