Abstract
A server computing device and related method for providing recommendations to a user computing device are disclosed. In one example, user activity of the user of a user computing device and friend activity of a friend using a friend computing device are received. A request for a recommendation is received from the user device. Based on the user and friend activities, it is estimated that the user and friend will approach an intersecting location within a window of time, and the user and friend are available to meet in that window. A recommendation of a service offered within a distance of the location is sent, with the recommendation displayed on the user computing device.
