8. A computer-implemented people matching system comprising one or more processor-based devices configured to execute: a computer-implemented function that accesses information representing a current location of a first person, wherein the information representing the location of the first person is generated by a location-aware device; a computer-implemented map that comprises location information associated with a plurality of non-human physical objects; a computer-implemented function that determines from the location information associated with the plurality of non-human physical objects a first physical object of the plurality of non-human physical objects that is proximal to the current location of the first person; a computer-implemented function that accesses information representing a current location of a second person; and a people matching function executed on a processor-based device that generates a suggested match between the first person and the second person, wherein the suggested match is based, at least in part, on an inference of mutual interest that is based on the current location of the first person, the current location of the second person, and the first physical object.
