The present invention includes a system and method for generating a discussion group based on different electronic images. A mixed media reality database receives MMR objects that correspond to source material and indexes the MMR objects. A content management engine generates a cluster that includes MMR objects based on a similarity of source material. An MMR engine receives an electronic image from a user device, performs a visual search and identifies an MMR object that is associated with the electronic image. A social network application identifies a discussion group associated with the cluster that includes the MMR object and provides the user device with access to the discussion group.
