SHARING CHANNELS
First Claim
1. A computer-based method for sharing content, comprising:
- associating at least one endpoint with a recipient in a sharing channel used to share user selected content with one or more recipients comprised in the sharing channel; and
upon receiving a user selection of content to share using the sharing channel, automatically sending at least one of the selected content and a universal resource identifier (URI), comprising a link to a storage location of the selected content, to the one or more endpoints for the respective one or more recipients comprised in the sharing channel, using a computer-based processor.

Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for sharing content. A user can acquire content, such as locally and/or remotely, that they wish to share with one or more recipients. The user provides or establishes one or more endpoints (e.g., email alias, cell-phone/text messaging address, etc.) for one or more recipients with which to share content using a sharing channel. A universal resource identifier (URI), comprising a link to the content to be shared is generated. Upon receiving an indication of sharing (e.g., drag-n-drop of content into the channel), at least one of the selected content and the URI are automatically sent to the one or more endpoints for the respective one or more recipients via the sharing channel. The user can thus share a plurality content with multiple recipients at multiple different endpoints in a single act.

10. A system for sharing user content, comprising:
-
a content storage component configured to provide access to user selected content stored thereon; a sharing channel component operably coupled with the content storage component and configured to share the user selected content with one or more recipients, comprising; a recipient identification component configured to identify at least one endpoint for respective one or more recipients of the user selected content; a universal resource identification component configured to provide a universal resource identifier (URI) link to a location of the stored user selected content; and a shared content identification component configured to identify the selected user content; and a content providing component operably coupled with the sharing channel component and configured to automatically provide at least one of the identified, selected content and the URI link to the respective endpoints identified by the recipient identification component, upon activation of the sharing channel by a user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed via a processor on a computer perform a method, for sharing user content, comprising:
-
storing user selected content in a storage location such that the content is accessible over a network using a universal resource identifier (URI); creating a sharing channel comprising one or more recipients, respectively comprising one or more endpoints, comprising associating at least one endpoint with the respective one or more recipients in the sharing channel, the sharing channel used to share user selected content with the one or more recipients; upon receiving a user selection of content to share using the sharing channel, automatically sending at least one of the selected content and a universal resource identifier (URI), comprising a link to the storage location of the selected content, to the respective the one or more recipients comprised in the sharing channel.
