Abstract: Low power monitoring of a social networking network location is supported by a wireless networking subsystem running on an information handling system in a reduced power state, such as with a powered down CPU. Instructions executing on the wireless networking subsystem periodically checks a social networking location and issues a notification at the information handling system if an event is detected, such as a new social networking posting. For example, the wireless networking subsystem presents social networking information at the display, or initiates presentation of social networking information by an embedded controller or a messaging operating system kernel having limited functionality that supports presentation of social networking information and limited power consumption.
