Abstract: Embodiments include a telephone system which allows a user to indicate their availability to receive phone calls and allows users to determine which other users are available to receive phone calls. The system allows for connection of phone calls between available parties, thereby eliminating unnecessary missed telephone calls and leaving and/or listening to repeated voicemails for the user. The system removes the uncertainty of whether a telephone call recipient is available eliminating frustration and wasted time for the caller. In one implementation, the system comprises an application or button installed on a telephone which may be activated to indicate to other users that the first user is available to receive and answer telephone calls via sending the caller a graphic and/or text, such as an animated icon “animaticon” showing what the user is presently engaged in doing, such as “golfing,” “in a meeting,” “in a class,” or the like.

Abstract: Achievement-posting systems, methods, and computer-readable media which include or use a registration component that receives user registrations for multiple social media websites via a communications interface. A goal component receives a user goal via the communications interface, and a measurement component records one or more accomplishments of a user towards the user goal. A milestone component displays the recorded one or more accomplishments of the user via the communications interface. A support component downloads incoming content from other registrants, a tagging component tags the incoming content according to pre-established privacy parameters, and an achievement component posts completion of the user goal.
