Abstract
The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for operation of an online matching service, and more particularly to systems and methods that coach users of an online matching service to become more timely and active participants. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a matching system server coupled to a public network and accessible to one or more users. The matching system server includes a database that stores participation data associated with the one or more users. The matching server system is configured to retrieve a user's participation data to calculate the participation progress and provide the participation data and progress for display. If the user selects to perform a task, the matching server system enables the execution of the selected task, updates and stores the user's participation data, and stores the user's updated participation data.
