Described is a poll-based networking system. The system provides an on-line network of friends that are determined through polling each of the users. This system polls a user with a variety of questions. After providing an answer to each question, the system compares, in real-time, the current user's responses with all other users' responses to identify those users that most similarly answered the questions to that of the current user. As the current user progressively answers additional questions, the system progressively updates the matching and presentation of similar users. As such, as the current user navigates the website by answering polling questions, the selected answers are compared against the selected answers of other users to generate a likelihood of match between the user and each of the other users. The user profiles of other users that have a likelihood of match within a predetermined threshold are then presented.
A poll-based networking system, comprising:
A computer-implemented method for creating a poll-based network, the method comprising an act of causing a computer having one or more processors and a memory specifically encoded with computer executable instruction means to execute the instruction means to cause the one or more processors to perform operations of:
A computer program product for creating a poll-based network, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instruction means stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform operations of:
