Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for sharing previously visited locations in a social network. A mobile computing device (for example, a smartphone) may be configured to receive and transmit a token to a server, the token including event information related to an event at a previously visited location. One or more candidate places of interest are then determined based on the event information, and provided for display to a user of the mobile computing device. The user selects one or more selected places of interest from the candidate places of interest, and the server provides, for display to one or more other users in a social network, a representation of the user and the selected places of interest.
