Abstract: A method performed by a physical computing device communicatively coupled to a computer network for creating an aggregate report of a presence of a user of the physical computing device on the network includes periodically searching the network with the physical computing device for content related to the user authored by a source other than the user, the searching being based on a unique set of identifiers associated with the user, dynamically updating the unique set of identifiers based on contextual trends within content returned as a result of the searching, and aggregating content published by the user to the network with the content returned as a result of the searching to form the aggregate report of the presence of the user on the network.

Abstract: A physical network presence management system includes a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory includes executable code stored thereon such that the executable code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement a network browser; in which the processor is configured to: track content uploaded to a network through the network browser; periodically search the network for content related to the user authored by a source other than the user; the searching being based on a unique set of identifiers associated with the user; dynamically update the set of unique identifiers based on contextual trends within content returned as a result of the searching; and aggregate content published by the user with the content returned as a result of the searching to create an aggregate report of the presence of the user on the network.

Abstract: A method for tracking at least recent contacts and favorite contacts across multiple communications services may include collecting, by a processor, information associated with a plurality of contact interactions of a user from each of a set of different communications services utilized by the user. The method may also include storing, by a storage device, the information associated with each of the plurality of contact interactions. The method may additionally include analyzing the information associated with each of the plurality of contact interactions. The method may further include determining at least one of a list of most recent contacts and a list of favorite contacts from analyzing the information associated with each of the plurality of contact interactions.

Abstract: A method and a system for managing communications over a network. The method can include receiving from a first user at least one user identifier associated with a second user and receiving at least one session identifier. The session identifier can correlate to a chat session on the network. Responsive to the second user posting a chat in the chat session while the first user is not currently participating in the chat session, a user notification can be generated to alert the first user that the second user has posted the chat, and to identify the chat session. The user notification can be presented to the first user via a client communicatively linked to the network.

Abstract: A system and method for providing indicators of component interaction capability across navigation elements is presented. A user selects an emitter portlet that is located on a viewable page. In turn, a property broker identifies compatible handler portlets located on different pages, and displays handler icons on navigation elements whose corresponding pages include compatible handler portlets. The user selects one of the handler icons and, as a result, the property manager links the emitter portlet to the handler portlet that corresponds to the handler icon, and displays the linked handler portlet's page. The property broker also performs similar functions to link a handler portlet to an emitter portlet.

Abstract: The present invention provides visual merging of portlets associated by a common key of data (e.g., a common Click-to-Action key). A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: providing a plurality of portlets having a common key of data; and merging at least two of the plurality of portlets into a merged portlet based on the common key of data.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing user-directed repartitioning of content on tab-based interfaces that includes providing a tab-based interface, having a plurality of tabs, wherein each tab has an associated content view and allowing for the manipulating of one, or more, tab, so as to repartition the associated content view with the concomitant tab manipulation.
