- a plurality of mobile devices communicatively coupled to the server over a network,
- wherein the server is configured to:
- generate a first user profile for a first device based on attributes of the first device,
- generate a second user profile for a second device based on attributes of the second device,
- determine a conceptual distance between the first and second devices based at least in part on the first and second user profiles, and
- cause a display of the first device to present a social map when the conceptual distance is within a predetermined threshold.

A mobile device comprising:
- a network interface configured to communicate with at least one other mobile device;
- a matching engine coupled with the network interface and configured to:
- generate a first user profile based on attributes of the mobile device,
- obtain a second user profile from the other mobile device via the network interface, and
