1. A method for sharing content, the method comprising:
- generating, for a first user, within a system, content for one or more application displays to be displayed on a first computing device of the first user;
causing display, on the first computing device, of a particular application display, of the one or more application displays, that includes a shortcut which enables sharing of sharable content;
wherein the sharable content includes at least a portion of content from the one or more application displays that were generated for the first user;
in response to receiving, by the system, an indication of selection of the shortcut by the first user, sending, to at least one second computing device of at least one second user, a sharing message to share the sharable content, without requiring any explicit indication, by the first user, of to whom to send the sharing message;
wherein the sharing message includes an access identifier;
wherein the at least one second computing device is different from said first computing device of the first user; and
in response to receiving an indication of acceptance of the sharing message by the at least one second user, the system using the access identifier to share with the at least one second user said sharable content.

Abstract
The application concerns sharing content generated within a system for one or more application displays to be displayed on a first computing device of a first user. A second user is sent a message concerning sharing sharable content wherein the sharable content includes at least a portion of content from the one or more application displays that were generated for the first user. The message includes an access identifier and in response to the second user accepting the message, the system uses the access identifier to share with the second user said sharable content that was generated for the first user.

1. A method for sharing content, the method comprising:
-
generating, for a first user, within a system, content for one or more application displays to be displayed on a first computing device of the first user; causing display, on the first computing device, of a particular application display, of the one or more application displays, that includes a shortcut which enables sharing of sharable content; wherein the sharable content includes at least a portion of content from the one or more application displays that were generated for the first user; in response to receiving, by the system, an indication of selection of the shortcut by the first user, sending, to at least one second computing device of at least one second user, a sharing message to share the sharable content, without requiring any explicit indication, by the first user, of to whom to send the sharing message; wherein the sharing message includes an access identifier; wherein the at least one second computing device is different from said first computing device of the first user; and in response to receiving an indication of acceptance of the sharing message by the at least one second user, the system using the access identifier to share with the at least one second user said sharable content. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 51, 52, 53)

33. A method for sharing content, the method comprising:
-
generating, for a first user, within a system, content for one or more application displays to be displayed on a first computing device of the first user; sending, to at least one second computing device of at least one second user, a sharing message to share sharable content; wherein the sharable content includes at least a portion of content from the one or more application displays that were generated for the first user; wherein the sharing message includes an access identifier; wherein the at least one second computing device is different from said first computing device of the first user; in response to receiving an indication of acceptance of the sharing message by the at least one second user, the system using the access identifier to share with the at least one second user said sharable content; wherein the step of sending the sharing message is performed in response to selection of a shortcut; wherein the shortcut is a parameterized shortcut that contains at least some of the parameters required for sharing; and the selection of the shortcut causes one or more of; providing to the system the at least some parameters required for sharing; and providing an interface to specify a set of parameters required for sharing. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
