On-demand provisioning of a set of services to interconnect a group of participants
First Claim
1. A method for servicing a dynamically formed group of participants for a temporary social occasion comprising provisioning a set of computer network-implemented services available from a service provider, configuring an application to execute on a server accessible to the participants via the service provider, the application being user-created by one of the participants choosing selected ones of the services corresponding to the occasion, executing the application to interconnect and coordinate the interactions of the participants for the occasion, and capturing all of the interactions of the participants throughout the duration of the occasion in a thread-of-activity file stored on the server for later recall by at least one of the participants.

19. A method for servicing a dynamically formed group of participants for a temporary social occasion comprising
provisioning a set of computer network-implemented services available from a service provider, configuring an application to execute on a server accessible to the participants via the service provider, the application being user-created by one of the participants, distinct from the service provider, choosing selected ones of the services corresponding to the occasion, the server being adapted to execute the occasion-specific services via an on-line website accessible via the service provider, executing the application to interconnect and coordinate the interactions of the participants for the occasion on the website, and capturing all of the interactions of the participants throughout the duration of the occasion in a thread-of-activity file stored on the server for later recall by at least one of the participants.
