MULTIMEDIA DIGITAL COLLAGE PROFILE USING THEMES FOR SEARCHING AND MATCHING OF A PERSON, PLACE OR IDEA

One embodiment provides a system and method for matching including a user interface digital collage for multimedia sharing built using themes paired with theme-based search functionality. This system and method can be used for searching, introducing, matching and exploring people (i.e. for dating, friendship, networking, project collaboration or employment), companies (i.e., for job placement), places (i.e., real estate rentals or sales) or ideas, where the themes are attributes of the person, company, place or idea. Another embodiment integrates this system and method with events and gatherings (e.g., parties, job fairs or open houses for sales or rentals of real estate), enabling connection and exploration of users' digital collages based on which users are attending or having particular gathering or events. In some embodiments the event can be real including for example, concerts, sporting events, theater, or virtual including, for example, online meetings, presentations, or group chats. An additional embodiment brings together in a thread or feed the most liked or popular multimedia content created by users for their digital collages, enabling connections based on exploration of that particular content or related content.
