Abstract

Natural language processing is performed on social media system posts by a plurality of users of a reading community. Corresponding analytical data is generated. Respective interests of the plurality of users can be determined by processing the analytical data. A present location of at least two users of the reading community can be monitored. Responsive to determining that the users are presently located within a pre-determined distance of each other, respective alerts can be presented to those users. Each alert can indicate that the users are presently located within the pre-determined distance of each other, indicate a listing of content being read by the reading community, and indicate a shared interest of the users.
