1. A system comprising:
a processor; and
memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a selection of a first avatar dataset comprising a first plurality of avatar components associated with a first user;
extracting information regarding an interest, a topic or a theme associated with the first user from a social networking platform;
modifying the first plurality of avatar components in the first avatar dataset based on the information regarding the interest, the topic or the theme associated with the first user;
retrieving, from a computing device associated with a second user, a second avatar dataset comprising a second plurality of avatar components associated with the second user, wherein the first user is different from the second user
generating a first avatar based on the first avatar dataset;
generating a second avatar based on the second avatar dataset; and
causing to be displayed on a display screen the first avatar and the second avatar.
