In yet other embodiments, urgent program 112 can select a set of potential responders without regard to the range of the set of estimated locations for unavailable device 106. In those embodiments, urgent program 112 can rely on the user's social media platforms to identify potential responders. For example, urgent program 112B can identify from the user's social media platforms that person A is a friend that interacts regularly with the user. In this embodiment, urgent program 112 identifies that person A interacts regularly by scanning through the user's social media web page and identifying a list of written communication between the user and person A as well as photographs of person A and the user. Urgent program 112 can then compare those instances of interactions between person A and the user to a pre-determined threshold that indicates a level of closeness between the two. Responsive to identifying that the interactions between person A and the user are above the threshold, urgent program 112 can then identify that person A is a “close friend” to the user. In these situations, urgent program 112 can then choose to select person A as the potential responder that has the highest chance of establishing communication with the user (who is now unavailable) as opposed to the potential responders within the range of a set of locations estimated as the location of unavailable device 106. In yet other embodiments urgent program 112 can choose to select any number of possible combinations between the user's social media connections and potential responders within the range of the set of locations estimated as the location of unavailable device 106.
