Abstract: Methods and systems for aggregating digital content captured at an event. In one aspect, a connection is established from a computing device to a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled event check-in point located at the event. The NFC enabled event check-in point is encoded with event identification information for the event. The event identification information includes an event Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a webpage associated with a computing system. The computing device receives event identification information including the event URL from the NFC enabled event check-in point, and transmits digital images captured at the event to a computing system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for providing a live stream of event content is provided. In an embodiment, a method may include defining an online collaborative space associated with an event. A plurality of event participants may be associated with the event. Content contributions may be received from one or more of the event participants. An event content update may be transmitted to a client event application based on the received content contributions to provide a live stream of event content.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method further configured to allow access to the event page to one or more members of the social network and to determine a subset of the one or more members of the social network. The method further configured to provide the subset of the one or more members of the social network with permission to edit the event page and receive real-time updates to the event page from the subset of the one or more members of the social network.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to generating photo animations. In some implementations, a method includes receives a plurality of photos from a user. The method also includes selecting photos from the plurality of photos that meet one or more predetermined similarity criteria. The method also includes generating an animation using the selected photos.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computing system for identifying, using one or more computing devices, an appointment scheduled for at least one user. Some embodiments may include determining, using the one or more computing devices, a present location for the at least one user and generating, using the one or more computing devices, a reminder for the appointment based upon, at least in part, the present location.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for interacting with images having similar content. In an embodiment, a method may include identifying one or more event attributes associated with an ongoing event.
