1. A computerized method of sharing content data, said computerized method comprising:
- receiving content data from a user, said content data having an event identifier embedded therein;
identifying the event identifier associated with the received content data;
sending the identified event identifier to a content data service;
receiving, from the content data service, a list of participants associated with the identified event identifier;
storing at least a portion of the content data in a memory area;
enabling at least one of the participants to access the portion of the content data stored in the memory area; and
accessing additional content data stored in the memory area by the at least one of the participants, said additional content data being associated with the identified event identifier.

Abstract
Enabling the automatic identification of participants to a common event to enable data sharing between the participants. An event identifier embedded in the content data associates the content data with an event. A content data service maintains a list of event identifiers and a list of participants associated with each event. Each of the participants communicates with the content data service to identify the other participants. The participants communicate with each other to share content data from the common event.

14. A system for sharing content data, said system comprising:
-
a first memory area for storing content data, said content data having an event identifier embedded therein, said first memory area being accessible by a user;
a second memory area for storing at least a portion of the content data stored in the first memory area;
a trust profile for identifying a plurality of participants authorized to access the second memory area; and
a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions for;
decoding the event identifier from the content data;
identifying the plurality of participants as a function of the decoded event identifier;
creating the trust profile with the identified plurality of participants;
enabling access, by the plurality of participants, to the second memory area according to the trust profile; and
receiving additional content data from at least one of the plurality of participants via the second memory area, said additional content data being associated with the event identifier. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components for associating content data with an event, said components comprising:
-
an interface component for receiving content data from a user, said content data having an event identifier embedded therein;
a decoder component for detecting the event identifier;
a contacts component for sending the identified event identifier to a content data service and receiving, from the content data service, a list of participants associated with the identified event identifier;
a peer-to-peer networking component for generating a shared space for access by at least one of the participants, adding the list of participants to the shared space, adding at least a portion of the content data to the shared space, and receiving additional content data from the at least one of the participants via the shared space, said additional content data being associated with the event identifier. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
