First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing device, a web feed describing content of an originating user published over a network;
obtaining, by the computing device, presence data describing an online presence of the originating user and an online presence of one or more other users included in a list of contacts that a recipient of the web feed would have an increased likelihood of being interested in communicating with; and
concurrently outputting, by the computing device to the recipient, the web feed with the presence data of the originating user to indicate whether the originating user and the one or more other users are available to communicate with the recipient and to identify two or more techniques to electronically communicate, based in part on the presence data, with at least one of the originating user or the one or more other users, the presence data being incorporated within the content of the originating user.

4. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
obtaining, by a computing device, a plurality of web feeds describing content of one or more originating users published over a network; deriving, by the computing device, presence data describing online presence information for the one or more originating users that correspond to the plurality of web feeds; and outputting, by the computing device, to a recipient the plurality of web feeds and the presence data for the one or more originating users concurrently, the presence data indicating whether the one or more originating users are available to communicate with the recipient corresponding to two or more techniques to electronically communicate, at least a portion that is selectable to initiate communication with the one or more originating users via the two or more techniques to electronically communicate, the presence data being incorporated within the content of the one or more originating users. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a display device communicatively coupled to the processor, the display device outputting a user interface that includes; presence data describing online presence of an originating user and corresponding to two or more particular communication techniques; a web feed describing content generated by the originating user published over a network, wherein the presence data and the web feed are displayed concurrently to indicate whether the originating user is available to communicate with a recipient and to identify how the originating user is available and wherein the presence data is incorporated within the content generated by the originating user; and a portion that is selectable to initiate communication with the originating user via the two or more particular communication techniques. - View Dependent Claims (8)
