Abstract
The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for operation of a matching service, and more specifically to operation of a matching service utilizing electronic data related to participants' experiences, e.g., locations visited and activities completed. In an embodiment, the system includes a matching server system, operatively coupled to a network, configured to calculate a compatibility value generated from correlating a first user match profile with a second user match profile, such correlation resulting in a potential match if the compatibility value exceeds a predetermined threshold, and at least one user device, operatively coupled to the network, wherein the user device is configured to enable users to post and respond to user experiences. When a second user responds to the posting of the first user, the compatibility value correlating the first user match profile with the second user match profile is increased. The user experiences include at least one of places and activities.
