1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing device, a web post 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, wherein a source of the presence data describing the online presence of the originating user comprises a presence service and a source of the web post describing the content comprises another service different than the presence service;
identifying, based at least in part on the web post, one or more other users included in a list of contacts of a recipient of the web post;
obtaining presence data describing an online presence of the determined one or more other users included in the list of contacts of the recipient of the web post; and
concurrently outputting, by the computing device to the recipient, the web post 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 or the online presence, with at least one of the originating user or the one or more other users.

6. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
obtaining, by a computing device, a plurality of web posts 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 posts, wherein a source of the presence data describing the online presence information comprises a presence service and a source of the plurality of web posts comprises another service different than the presence service; outputting, by the computing device, the plurality of web posts 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 a recipient of the plurality of web posts via two or more techniques to electronically communicate, wherein at least a portion of the presence data 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; identifying, based at least in part on a portion of the plurality of web posts, one or more other users included in a list of contacts of the recipient of the plurality of web posts; and obtaining an online presence of the identified one or more other users included in the list of contacts of the recipient of the plurality of web posts. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
