Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for informing users regarding one or more conversations currently occurring within a geographic area of interest (GOI). In one embodiment, a user device associated with a user obtains conversation data for the GOI from a server computer. The conversation data may indicate a topic of the conversation and a location of the conversation. The user device may then present a visual representation of the GOI to the user. For example, the visual representation may be a map or a viewfinder frame captured by a camera of the GOI. The user device may present one or more visual indicators. At least one visual indicator is presented in association with the visual representation of the GOI in order to represent the topic of the conversation and the location of the conversation.
