Abstract
A system for creating an anonymous social gathering of 3 or more persons. The system has a server digital device and a client digital device both operatively connected to a distributed network and thus to each other. The client device is configured to display an electronic mapping received from the server digital device through the distributed network and the electronic mapping displays at least one selectable geolocation indicator. Each geolocation indicator represents an indicated location of a gathering of at least two anonymous portable digital devices. The electronic mapping is configured to display indicator identification information on the user device for the momentarily selected indicator.

8. A method for joining an anonymous gathering of a mingle community of interest, the method comprising:
-
storing in machine readable memory a plurality of names of mingle communities of interest, each community having a plurality of anonymous registered members each owning a portable digital device that is adapted for calculating and sending a location data input from the digital device over a distributed network; using at least a first hardware processor operatively associated with the machine readable memory programmed to assemble a listing of the communities and to create a data association between the names of respective members of the respective communities to create a registry of mingle communities of interest and store it in the memory; responsive to respective location data inputs received over the network from the digital devices of the plurality of anonymous members, using a second hardware processor operatively associated with the machine readable memory programmed to calculate and store in memory a location of a gathering of at least two of the anonymous portable digital devices that are proximate to each other; responsive to a location data input from a digital device of an anonymous user, displaying on the digital device at least a portion of the registry of mingle communities, where at least one of the communities listed has a gathering location that is within a user selectable distance from the anonymous user or from a user selected alternate location; responsive to a selection data input from the digital device of the anonymous user, causing the digital device of the anonymous user to display an electronic mapping, the mapping comprising at least one geolocation indicator representing the location of the gathering of the at least two anonymous portable digital devices.
