Abstract

An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface sends and receives data over a network. The processor uses the interface to transmit a first series of profiles to a first user that includes recommended profiles for a second user. The processor uses the interface to receive a selection from the first user of a profile corresponding to a third user. The processor uses the interface to transmit a second series of profiles to the third user that includes recommended profiles for the third user. The processor uses the interface to receive a selection from the third user of a profile corresponding to the second user. In response to receiving the selection from the first user of the profile corresponding to the third user and the selection from the third user of the profile corresponding to the second user, the processor enables communication between the second and third users.
