Abstract: A system and method for mapping and transforming email messages to communication stream messages are described. An email message is processed by a mapping engine which extracts elements of the email message, maps and transforms the extracted elements of the email message to a communication stream message to be presented via a communication stream system.

Abstract: A programming language and compiler support inheritance and type extensions. Program code defines user-defined independent and dependent-link data types. Elements of an independent data type can be inherited by a dependent-link data type that can extend the scope of the independent data type and the scope of one or more elements of the independent data type. Data types and type extensions are instantiated in memory as uniquely identified objects that reference one another in a manner that controls inter-object access.

Abstract: A system and method for mapping and transforming communication stream messages to email messages are described. A communication stream message is communicated to a mapping engine which extracts elements of the communication stream message, maps and transforms the extracted elements of the communication stream message to an email message to be presented via an email system.

Abstract: A document editing system using a third party application having an embedded document editing module is disclosed. The system includes a client-side document editing engine that accepts requests to edit a document from and displays at least a portion of the document to a user of the client-side system. The system includes a first server-side application engine that processes the requests to edit the document. The system can include a second server-side data storage engine that stores the document in a remote storage location.

Abstract: A messaging system supports a presentation session with participants of the presentation, a presenter and one or more audience members. The message system allows the participants to share messages and documents via respective client/mobile devices. An application on each mobile device allows the audience member to peruse and comment on document portions (e.g., pages, images, or slides) being presented. The presentation sequence for the document portions can be managed by the presenter, or document perusal can be decoupled from the presentation sequence to allow audience members to focus on past or future document portions. Comments of the audience member or other participants can be linked to corresponding document portions. A user may repeat, reprise or continue a past presentation.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a document in a messaging environment is described. A communication including a document specification including zero or more formatting commands and content is received from a sender and processed. The system and method determine whether the document specification is in a done condition, and iterates until done. A formatted document is also created and returned to the sender and recipients.

Abstract: A system and method for creating, managing, and using an application in a messaging environment is described. A communication including an application specification comprising zero or more commands is received from a sender and processed. The system and method determine whether the application specification is in a done condition, and iterates until done. A confirming specification, including revisions made while iterating, is also created and returned to the sender and recipients.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating a multimedia presentation between a presenter and an audience is described. Services provided via a network facilitate the communication, and include real-time determination of remaining portions of a presentation responsive to “on the fly” presentation modifications, automated filtering and prioritization of audience feedback to a presenter, integration with one or more customer data resources, and repositioning of a shared electronic pointer by reorienting a wireless handheld presenter device.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a communication stream for associating messages are described. A communication stream receives various message types including messages, posts, events, tasks, and comments, and presents them to users. Private messages relating to one or more messages may be sent between and among one or more users.
