Sharing of information associated with events
First Claim
1. A system, comprising one or more processors configured to execute instructions that cause the system to perform a method comprising steps of:
- receiving from a first user a first expression of interest in interactions of a third user;
receiving from a second user a second expression of interest in interactions of the third user;
receiving an indication of a particular interaction of the third user;
after receiving the first expression of interest, receiving the second expression of interest, and receiving the indication, performing the steps of;
based, at least in part, on the first expression of interest, sending first information about the particular interaction to the first user;
based, at least in part, on the second expression of interest, sending the first information about the particular interaction to the second user; and
wherein the first information includes one or more links that provide access to one or more views that are associated with the particular interaction;
receiving, from the first user, a first comment, wherein the first comment is entered in a text entry interface that is related to the first information; and

Abstract
Techniques are provided that allow users to collaborate in relationship to data views, application displays, applications or events. A user can type in a text view related to a specific view in an application display, and the information is shared with other users that take part in sharing that view. A user that expresses an interest in an event is notified about the event and has the capability to interact, in relation to the event, with other users (e.g. by text). The particular form of interaction (and sharing) can be selectively specified. This interaction is comparable to a dynamic bulletin board where the subject is event driven, and where a user can specify who are allowed to participate. In the case of an event interest(s), users specify their interest (e.g. in other user application events or system events) and the system automatically alerts them to the occurrence of the event.
