A set of conversations taking place by users within a geographic location are identified. Keywords for a conversation under analysis, in that geographic location, are identified based on a frequency with which terms are used in the conversation under analysis and in the related conversations. The keywords are automatically added as searchable terms corresponding to the conversation under analysis, and a communication system is controlled to notify client components of the keywords.

Location-based conversation identifier

Mobile localization of communications allows users to communicate anonymously with other users who share a location that is mobile. The systems and methods provided herein distinguish users who are co-mobile from users who are merely co-located to enable mobile conversations to travel with co-mobile users without a dedicated communications connection being established beforehand between the users. The conversations travel with the co-mobile users and are not tied to a physical location, allowing for localized and anonymous communications for user who are travelling together.

Mobile localized communication for on-the-go users

Various systems and methods for inking reflowable content are described herein. In an example, the system includes a processor and storage with instructions that in response to execution on the processor cause the processor to identify inking input. In an example, the inking input is identified in a content area of a reflowable document. In an example, the system capture an image of the inking input and the content area indicated by the inking input. In an example, the system may also capture an ink stroke of the inking input. The ink stroke of the inking input and the image of the inking input and content area can be provided for display in response to a detection that the reflowable document is being displayed in a modified context.

Content inker

Described herein is a method of web browser enabled annotation sharing comprising receiving information associated with the annotation, creating an anchored annotation based upon the received information associated with the annotation; and storing the anchored annotation. Further described herein is a method of retrieving an anchored annotation comprising receiving a request for an anchored annotation associated with particular content, retrieving anchored annotations associated with the particular content, filtering the retrieved anchored annotations; and, providing the filtered retrieved anchored annotations (e.g., to user(s) viewing the same content).
