Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for augmenting a user profile of a subject user. In general, the user profile of the subject user is augmented based on aggregate profile data for a group of users relevant to a current location of the subject user. In one embodiment, the group of users is a crowd of users currently located at a location that is relevant to the current location of the subject user. In another embodiment, the group of users is a number of users historically, or previously, located at locations relevant to the current location of the subject user.
