Abstract
Information is automatically identified and shared between individuals who wish to become socially or professionally “connected.” An electronic communication is sent from one person to another including a request or invitation to be personally connected. If the request is accepted by the other person, a computer network is automatically accessed without further user intervention to search of one or more electronic databases to locate information related to the persons. If such information is found during the search, it is provided to the persons wishing to be connected. The initial request to become connected may be sent through an electronic mail message, through physical contact between two smartphones or other portable electronic devices, or through a wireless electronic network communication. The method may include searching multiple Internet websites or electronic databases, including social or professional media Internet websites, to locate the information to be shared.
