Abstract

A communication method and apparatus wherein there is wireless communication with at least two mobile communication devices each having a network address and wherein location-related data is received for the at least two mobile communication devices. A database of profiles of users is maintained including social media information and/or advertising information identifying at least one second user and the second user's network address with whom a first user desires to communicate when the first and second users are at a common location. A contact with the first user, or with the second user, or with both, is initiated automatically by a third party when the location-related data indicates that the first and second users are sufficiently close, the purpose of the contact or contacts being to effect a direct communication between the network address of the first user and the network address of the second user.
