The Place We Met is the ultimate missed connections APP. It's ideal for finding anyone from your past. It could be a friend from high school thirty years ago or a love interest you met at a coffee shop last week.

Entering in a location and date-range along with a short paragraph is all you need to do. You don't even have to know the name of the person you're looking for! The location can include a radius of up to 5km. It could be a fixed place like a coffee shop or a random location like the middle of a street festival.

To find a University friend, for example, you might use center campus as the GPS location and enter in a 1km radius to cover the entire grounds. GPS data (latitude & longitude) is easily found for any location by right-clicking on Google Maps. The short paragraph helps narrow down matches if there are several for the location & date-range. The APP looks for identical key words from both descriptions.

The Place We met will notify you when you have a match and you can message through the APP. Note that two parties must BOTH be searching for each other.

1) Login

2) Enter Search Info

The only info you need to enter is a short paragraph and a date or date range (when you met the person). Your date range might be the three years you went to high school (say you're looking for a high school buddy).

3) Enter Location

Once you've entered the search info, enter the location where you met. The system uses a GPS location and a distance (radius). For a friend you met at University, you could use the GPS location in the center of campus and select a distance (radius) of 1km so you cover the entire campus grounds. GPS data (latitude & longitude) is easily found for any location by right-clicking on Google Maps.

He writes:

You were a barista at Starbucks back in 2018 when I came in every weekend. You told me you study psychology and that you love travel. You were planning a trip to Paris.

She Writes:

I worked at Starbucks when I was at University studying psychology. You came in quite a bit. I told you I was going to travel to Paris that summer.

Identical Keywords: (Starbucks, psychology, travel, Paris)

Only the matching keywords are displayed to each party. This is to maximize privacy, in case people include personal information like addresses or phone numbers in their search paragraphs. Perhaps they both remember the address of where they met, or a phone number that existed at the time. The bottom line is that these won't be displayed to the other party unless they have the EXACT same text in their respective search paragraphs.

It's easy to test The Place We MET!

1) Create two test accounts.

Use emails ending in @tpwm (as in The Place We Met). Our system recognizes emails ending in @tpwm as test accounts, so there's no need to receive emails to click a verification link. For example, create two accounts with the test emails: myname1@tpwm.com, myname2@tpwm.com. Note that test accounts are deleted after a few days.

2) Create a search on each account.

Go to: Main Menu/Find People/New Search. Simply enter a start-date and end-date for your search and enter in a short paragraph.

3) Enter location & radius

Find a location on Google Maps and right click to get the the GPS coordinates. A box appears with the GPS coordinates at the top & various options below. If you click on the coordinates, they are stored in the clipboard. Click the link from your search record that says "Get Location" then find a link that says "input GPS." Initially, paste both the stored GPS coordinates into latitude field. You will see the latitude coordinate on the left, and the longitude coordinate on the right, separated by a comma. Cut the longitude coordinate and paste it in the box labelled "longitude." Don't worry about the comma, our system will strip it out. Repeat this procedure for the second record. If the locations from the two records are very close to one another, you could set the radius at .1km for both records. If further apart, adjust the radius in each record (max 5km) until you have a match. Note that it's easier to cut & paste GPS coordinates from Google maps on a DESKTOP or LAPTOP. It can be difficult to complete this task on a portable device like a phone.

4) Test different parameters.

If you entered information that matches, you will see you have a match. You can change dates on one of the accounts to verify it doesn't match if the dates don't match. You can alter the GPS location a bit (further apart) until you no longer have a match. If you then set a longer search radius on each record, you will find they match again. In a real-life search on The Place We Met both parties would then instantly receive an email to notify them of the match. They could then message through the system and exchange contact info, if they wish.

The Place We Met can help you find anyone from your past. It doesn't matter how long ago it was. The date-range can be as big as you want it to be. The distance (radius from central point) can be up to 5km. However, note that a larger date-range and/or distance (radius) might generate a large number of matches. Identical keywords help narrow down matches.

The Place We Met can't help you find somebody that doesn't want to be found. Both parties MUST be looking for each other. The plus side to this is that the APP CANNOT be used to stalk somebody.

The Place We Met can be used to connect with someone that you're romantically interested in. Suppose there's someone that goes to the same coffee shop or gym as you. If you BOTH put in a request to connect, the system will match you. If they're not interested, they'll never know that you were looking. There is ZERO chance of rejection!

You can use The Place We Met to help organize a high school or ANY type of reunion. Track down witnesses to an accident. Reunite you with somebody you met at summer camp or in the chaos of a natural disaster. Find somebody you chatted briefly with on a street corner or in the middle of a steet festival ten years ago! You could track down someone you met at refugee camp during times of war. The possibilities are truly endless!

After a payment system is in place THE PLACE WE MET will be free of charge for displaced populations. For example, those affected by events like war and various natural disasters will have free access. At the end of 2023, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide was estimated at 117.3 million according to the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR). Almost 1.5% of the world's population has been displaced!

There is a complete front-end makeover planned in 2025.

A payment system is also in the works. This APP is so new that we haven't even decided on a pricing model yet. Currently, it's free of charge. However, we are accepting donations.

We are currently looking for investors. We believe The Place We Met has incredible potential to go viral.

There is a feature film script in development about two people that reconnect using the APP (Called The Place We Met, of course). We are actively looking for a producing partner or company that will buy or option the script. The film's theme song will also help drive awareness and publicity.

As the credits roll on THE PLACE WE MET film, this is the song that will be playing. With the combination of an APP, a book, a movie and a song, we believe THE PLACE WE MET will have its fifteen minutes of fame. As such, we see the possibility that this song will be a minor hit. Keep in mind that the two versions on the site right now are just the first demo versions.

Click the link below for a stripped down piano version, the type of arrangement that might be used for a live performance of the song.

THE PLACE WE MET will find a match IMMEDIATELY after somebody enters in a GPS location and date-range combination that corresponds with an existing record in the database.

Keep in mind that it could take days, weeks, months or even years after you put in a search request until the person you are looking for also decides they also want to find you. Within seconds after they enter their search data you will receive an email notifying you of the match. There's no need to continuously login and check for matches, although it doesn't hurt to check periodically just in case you miss our email.

No. The Place We Met CANNOT be used for stalking. It only connects two people if BOTH of them want to connect. Once connected, the system doesn't EVER give out any information whatsoever. It allows the parties to message through the system only. If they wish to exchange contact information, they can. The system gives out ZERO information. The party you match with can't even read the descriptive paragraph you enter in. It simply shows you any IDENTICAL matching keywords from both your paragraphs.
