Social activity content is aggregated for summarization and reporting by obtaining a plurality of input messages that each characterizes a corresponding time limited social activity, such as a sporting event, competition, etc. Each received message is associated with a corresponding social activity, information is extracted from the received messages describing an aspect of the corresponding social activity and information is generated that summarizes the corresponding social activity. Generated information may be based upon a combination of the information extracted from the associated messages, and information derived from content based assumptions utilizing knowledge of the corresponding social activity. Social activity information is further aggregated by applying context aware filtering to eliminate redundantly generated information, sequencing the filtered information into a chronology of the social activity and generating a summary of the social activity based upon the sequenced and filtered information.
