1. A system comprising:
one or more processing devices; and
a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
causing sending of a first set of one or more communications, to a first set of one or more user devices and a second set of one or more communications to a second set of one or more user devices, to facilitate communications between a first set of one or more users and a second set of one or more users based at least in part on causing presentation of graphical user interface elements to indicate that the first set of one or more users should recommend a media content to the second set of one or more users and to facilitate establishing one or more communication links between the first set of one or more user devices and the second set of one or more user devices;
recognizing a plurality of segments of the communications between the first set of one or more users and the second set of one or more users;
assigning a value to each segment of the plurality of segments based at least in part on analyzing content of the segment;
ranking the plurality of segments of the communications based at least in part on the assigned values;
selecting, based at least in part on the ranking, two or more segments of the plurality of segments of the communications;
using the selected two or more segments to form a composite of communications hightlights selected from two or more of the communications between the first set of one or more users and the second set of one or more users based at least in part on scoring content of the two or more communications, where the composite of communication highlights comprises video communications; and
controlling serving of the composite of communications highlights to one or more remote devices.
