Architecture that enables discovery and communications between users that have common interests (e.g., visited the same place). For example, when users arrive at a geographic location (e.g., a business) at various times, the users are registered (automatically or manually) via a location-based service. A user can register at the location so other users may discover the user by association to the same location and according to concurrent (all or a portion of overlap of time) visitation. The registration process creates visit information of a visiting user, and a history component stores the visit information and provides access to the visit information according to user access preferences. The architecture further enables searches to be performed over the visit information by users to find other users who visited the location at the same time, to find potential new friends, and also suggest other users who match the user profile preferences.
