1. A method for forming a real-time activity group, comprising the steps of:
- creating a set of users from multiple social communication networks, wherein creating a set of users is carried out by a social networking core module executing on a hardware processor;
annotating each user in the set with one or more corresponding real-time attributes, wherein annotating each user in the set with one or more corresponding real-time attributes is carried out by a social networking core module executing on a hardware processor; and
using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users, wherein the one or more connections are based on an activity request, and wherein using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users comprises exploiting multiple communication modalities via a situational mashup application to establish multi-modal communication within the set of users across the multiple social communication networks, and wherein using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users is carried out by a core infrastructure module executing on a hardware processor.

Abstract
Techniques for forming a real-time activity group are provided. The techniques include creating a set of one or more users, annotating each user in the set with one or more corresponding real-time attributes, and using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections between the one or more users in the set to form a real-time activity group within the set of one or more users, wherein the one or more connections are based on an activity request.

15. A computer program product comprising a tangible computer readable recordable storage medium including computer useable program code to cause a computer to complete the following steps:
-
creating a set of users from multiple social communication networks; annotating each user in the set with one or more corresponding real-time attributes; and using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users, wherein the one or more connections are based on an activity request, and wherein using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users comprises exploiting multiple communication modalities via a situational mashup application to establish multi-modal communication within the set of users across the multiple social communication networks. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A system for forming a real-time activity group, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to; create a set of users from multiple social communication networks; annotate each user in the set with one or more corresponding real-time attributes; and use the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users, wherein the one or more connections are based on an activity request, and wherein using the one or more real-time attributes to identify one or more connections within the set of users to form a real-time activity group within the set of users comprises exploiting multiple communication modalities via a situational mashup application to establish multi-modal communication within the set of users across the multiple social communication networks. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
