Logging external events in a persistent human-to-human conversational space
First Claim
1. A method for processing external events in a persistent human-to-human conversational space, the method comprising the steps of:
- persisting a human-to-human conversational space;
posting turns in said persistent human-to-human conversational space;
receiving different notifications of external events, the different notifications of external events indicate events occurring externally to said persistent human-to-human conversational space, the external events including a creation of a timestamp for a file, a creation of a timestamp for a different human-to-human conversational space, a creation of meta-data for a file, a creation of meta-data for a message, and a creation of meta-data for a different human-to-human conversational space;
responsive to receiving said notifications of external events, converting said notifications of external events into respectively different textual descriptions of the different notifications of external events; and
,further posting the converted different textual descriptions of the different notifications of external events in said persistent human-to-human conversational space.
