ABSTRACT:
A system for identifying and managing social circles is provided that includes a data store and instructions. The data store stores a social circle that lists individuals. The social circle members are identified by monitoring individuals that a customer communicates with via the customer's mobile device. The data store further maintains recommendations and purchase histories associated with the individuals of the social circle. When instructions are executed by a processor, the processor promotes managing the individuals of the social circle, searching for businesses and products, and retrieving recommendations and purchase histories from the data store that are associated with the searched businesses and products.
