1. A method for populating a map with a set of avatars through the use of a mobile technology platform associated with a user, comprising: developing sets of facial characteristics, wherein each set of facial characteristics in the sets of facial characteristics is associated with at least one facial scan performed on an individual of a plurality of individuals that the user has encountered in the real world over a period of time while using the mobile technology platform; recording at least one time and at least one real-world location at which the at least one facial scan was performed; forming a first database in which the recorded at least one time and the at least one real-world location at which the at least one facial scan was performed is associated with the set of facial characteristics of the individual that was the subject of the at least one facial scan; generating a set of avatars from the sets of facial characteristics such that each avatar in the set of avatars is associated with the individual of the plurality of individuals, and is further associated with the at least one facial scan performed on that individual; generating placement data for each avatar by applying a random deviation placement algorithm to the at least one real-world location at which the at least one facial scan of the individual corresponding to the avatar was performed, thereby associating the placement data with the at least one facial scan performed on the individual corresponding to the avatar; and using the placement data to populate a map with the set of avatars.
