Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media and devices that identify in real time levels of concentrated social activity at stored venue locations include identifying a location of a client computing device in response to a request for identification of concentrated social activity from the client computing device. A level of social activity at each of the stored venue locations within a first set distance of the identified location is determined based on social media content on one or more social media server devices indexed in real time to each of the stored venue locations within a first set distance of the identified location. At least one social activity interface is generated based on the determined level of social activity at each of the stored venue locations within the first set distance of the identified location. The generated social activity interface is provided to the requesting client computing device.
