Abstract
Techniques are described for analyzing user-supplied information, including to predict future aspects of additional information that will be supplied by users. The analyzed information may include distributed group discussions involving numerous users and occurring via user comments and other content items supplied to social networking site(s) and/or other computer-accessible sites. The techniques further include displaying information to users about analyzed and/or predicted information for one or more categories and/or topics or other attributes, to reflect corresponding constituent content items for those categories/topics/attributes for one or more time periods—the information display may further occur in a real-time or near-real-time manner with respect to corresponding events or activities to which the information corresponds (such as within seconds, minutes or hours), and may display information about total quantity of constituent content items, rate of change in total quantity, aggregate sentiment, etc.
