1. A system for location-based social networking, comprising:
a computer processor;
a social mapping system executing on the computer processor and configured to:
receive, from a client device, a request for one or more social media posts, wherein the request includes screen attribute information about a display of the client device specifying a geographic map region displayed on the client device, geographic location information, and an identification of a requesting account of the social network;
identify a set of social media posts based on the screen attribute information and the geographic location information;
calculate a first customized score for each of the set of social media posts by applying a first set of factors to a general score of each of the set of social media posts, wherein the first set of factors comprises, for at least a first social media post of the set of social media posts, at least an ephemerality factor designating a time-based scoring decay for the first social media post;
select, based at least on the first customized score of each of the social media posts, a subset of the set of social media posts for inclusion in a suggested group, wherein the ephemerality factor is included in the suggested group; and
provide the suggested group for display by the client device in response to the request, wherein the client device is configured to display the suggested group in the geographic map region, and wherein the client device is configured to modify a symbol representing the first social media post in the geographic map region based on the ephemerality factor after a duration of time has elapsed.
