Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for assisting a user to meet with other users with complementary attributes. Attributes (e.g., likes, dislikes) of a user, such as a user of a mobile device, are received to populate a profile of the user. The user attributes of profiles of actively participating users that are located in a geographic area are analyzed with respect to the attributes of the user to identify other users with complementary profiles. Those users with complementary profiles as the user are clustered to form a “cluster” at a designated waypoint. Directions are then provided to the user to reach the designated waypoint to meet the other users of the same cluster. In this manner, the user is able to meet other users in the physical world with complementary interests and experiences at a designated waypoint.
