A summary of activity transpiring in at least one messaging conversation is presented on a region of a display in a summary window. Each messaging conversation summary includes one or more infographics indicating in real-time whether participant activity in the respective conversation is increasing or decreasing over time. In this way a user can monitor a single window in a single display rather than many windows occupying a series of displays. In some implementations the user may designate one or more of the summaries as an active window. The active window may include more information in its summary that the summaries for the remaining messaging conversation summaries which are not designated as active windows. In some cases the additional information included in the active window which is not available in the non-active windows includes the ongoing conversation of the participants.
