Abstract: A mobile computing device comprises a user input device, an output device, a memory configured to store data and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive user input from the user input device indicative of a request to associate the stored data with a second mobile computing device, to receive an indication that the second mobile computing device is proximate to the mobile computing device, and to provide a notification to the user via the output device based on the indication.

Abstract: A computing device operates a plurality of messaging programs that use different messaging transports. The computing device includes processing resources that operate to provide a messaging database that interfaces with the plurality of messaging programs to record instances of incoming or outgoing messages using anyone of the plurality of messaging programs. The processing resources execute in connection with maintaining the messaging database in order to associate individual incoming messages or outgoing messages with either a new messaging thread or an existing messaging thread. The incoming messages and outgoing messages of each new or existing messaging thread being received or sent through any one of the plurality of messaging programs, so that the messaging threads can be mixed in the type of messages that are provided.
