- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving authorization, from a first user, to access a first user profile of a services system;
- based on receiving the authorization, accessing via an application programming interface, from a database at the services system, information stored in the first user profile, the information stored in the first user profile including geographic location data from a computing device of the first user;
- connecting to an online social network to retrieve information from a plurality of profiles of the online social network;
- comparing respective information associated with the plurality of profiles to information stored in the first user profile, wherein comparing includes:
- performing image analysis on an image from each particular profile of the plurality of profiles of an online social network to determine a geographic image location for each particular profile;
- and
- cross-referencing the respective geographic image locations from each particular profile with the geographic location data from the computing device of the first user to identify a first profile associated with the first user on the online social network;
- selecting a second profile from the plurality of profiles based on the geographic image location for the first profile being within a same geographic region as the geographic location information of the second profile of a second user;
- and
- transmitting an electronic communication, via the online social network, the electronic communication offering a service provided to the first user, wherein the service is based on an identified service in the second profile of the second user.
