 selecting one or more of the future locations that are associated with a second future date that matches the first future date.   
     
     
         29 . A system comprising: one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
 receiving, from a computing device, an indication of a first future date from a user, wherein the first future date is a date later than a current date;   identifying one or more friends of the user that are going to be physically present at one or more respective future locations on the first future date; and   displaying, on a geographic map on the computing device, a friend representation corresponding to each of the one or more future locations where the one or more friends of the user are going to be physically present,   wherein each friend representation is displayed on the geographic map relative to the future location it corresponds to,   wherein each friend representation is a marker that includes a dynamic content area surrounded by a static border,   
     
     
         30 . The system of  claim 29 , wherein the operations further comprise:
