1. A system for facilitating location-based social interaction comprising:
- one or more servers being configured to;
receive, from a location-based social interaction application installed on a portable electronic device of a requesting user of an online service for facilitating location-based social interaction, a request for information concerning users of the online service located within a range of a location of the requesting user;
generate a list of the users located within the range of the location;
filter, based upon filtering criteria, the list in order to create a filtered list of the users; and
transmit, to the portable electronic device, profile information relating to the filtered list of the other users;
wherein;
the location-based social interaction application is configured to utilize the profile information to generate a user interface that includes a location-based profile display including interactive representations corresponding to the filtered list of the users located within the range of the requesting user'"'"'s location;
the location-based social interaction application is configured to display a second user interface corresponding to a second user in response to one of the interactive representations being selected; and
the second user interface includes an option that enables a notification to be transmitted to the second user; and
in response to a selection of the option included on the second user interface, the notification is transmitted to a second portable electronic device.
