1. A method for providing collaboration information, comprising:
- a user computer receiving an input identifying a primary user, a collaborative user, and a collaborative activity associated with the primary user and at least one collaborative user;
the user computer sending to the at least one collaborative user via a collaboration server computer an invitation to participate in the collaborative activity;
the user computer receiving from the at least one collaborative user via the collaboration server computer a response to the invitation;
if the response comprises an acceptance, then;
after receiving a start trigger event that starts a collaborative activity session, the user computer sending a notification of the start of the collaborative activity session to the at least one collaborative user via the collaboration server computer; and
