Abstract
A computer-implemented method for recommending a friend for a network utilizing a host site. The method includes obtaining, using a processor system, a first audio recording from a first user device associated with a first member having a first member profile affiliated with the host site and a second audio recording from a second user device associated with a second member having a second member profile affiliated with the host site. Determining if the first and second user are in proximity by comparing the first and second audio recordings; and based on a determination that the first and second users are in proximity, initiating steps for associating the first member profile with the second member profile via the host site.
