Shared interests often serve as the basis for the formation of community. Yet it is often difficult to find others on the net who share one's interests, due to the large size of the network, the difficulty of finding newsgroups, mailing lists, and discussion groups that reflect possibly unusual interests, and because most people do not often post. To address these issues, I have designed and am implementing Yenta, a system that safely and securely introduces people on the Internet who share some similar interests, and that enables the automatic formation of interest groups based on these shared interests. Yenta is a system of distributed, individual agents, each instantiation of which is run by an individual user. Each user's Yenta discovers its user's interests by direct examination of the user's personal files. It then finds groups of similar users without divulging sensitive information.
