28. A method for facilitating social interaction between communication device users across a network, wherein at least a first communication device is configure to enable (i) selection of a user communication group of a communication group type corresponding to one of (a) a known user, (b) users in a group of users with a previously established relationship or (c) users in a group of users with no previously established relationship;
- and (ii) communication with communication devices of users in the selected communication group, the method including;
at a server, receiving from the first communication device data identifying all users in a communication group; creating a communication tool associated with the communication group; and transmitting the communication tool to the first communication device for use in selection of and communicating with the communication group. - View Dependent Claims (29, 33, 34)

30. A method for facilitating social interaction between communication device users across a network, wherein at least a first communication device is configure to enable (i) selection of a user communication group of a communication group type corresponding to one of (a) a known user, (b) a group of users with a previously established relationship or (c) users in a group of users with no previously established relationship;
- and (ii) communication with communication devices of users in the selected communication group, the method including;
at a server, receiving from the first communication device data identifying the spatial context of the communication group of type (c); and transmitting communications from within that spatial context to the first communication device. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)
