1. A method comprising:

  • starting a synchronous communication session in response to user initiation, where the synchronous communication session includes real-time multimedia data transfer among a plurality of users associated with the synchronous communication session;

    associating an asynchronous communication session with the synchronous communication session by associating identifiers of the asynchronous communication session and the synchronous communication session with each other;

    providing the plurality of users with automatic access to the associated asynchronous communication session, the asynchronous communication session overlapping in time with the synchronous communication session and the automatic access including access to add information to the asynchronous communication session or retrieve information from the asynchronous communication session while the synchronous communication session is ongoing;

    ending the synchronous communication session;

    sending a digital link over a network to the plurality of users associated with the synchronous communication session, the digital link providing access to the asynchronous communication session; and

    granting access to ones of the users for the asynchronous communication session in response to selection of the digital link.
