1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors over a computer network, messages from one or more sources comprising mobile computing devices within a given location, the mobile computing devices associated with respective social network members, the messages being exchanged between the social network members using the mobile computing devices, and one or more of the messages comprising one or more images of one or more faces of attendees of an event;
computing, by the one or more processors, a number of the messages within the given location received from the one or more sources;
comparing, by the one or more processors, the number of the messages within the given location received from the one or more sources to a threshold number of messages;
in response to determining that the number of the messages within the given location received from the one or more sources exceeds the threshold number of messages, determining, by the one or more processors, a mood of the messages within the given location received from the one or more sources based on content included in the messages based on a determined numerical value representing an intensity of emotion for the one or more images based on a distribution of points on the one or more faces of the attendees within the one or more images; and
generating a visual representation of the determined mood of the messages.
