Abstract
A first mobile device associated with a first member of a social networking service may be configured to facilitate social networking service connections based on calendar data validated by the first mobile device. For example, the first mobile device accesses calendar data that pertains to an electronic calendar of the first member. The first mobile device identifies a scheduled event based on the calendar data. The first mobile device determines that the first member and a second member of the social networking service attended the scheduled event based on a proximity between the first mobile device and a second mobile device associated with the second member. The first mobile device generates a communication for the first member that includes a prompt to connect with the second member via the social networking service, based on the determining that the first member and the second member attended the scheduled event.
