  • Patent number: 8122086
    Abstract: Functionality is described herein for presenting a sequence of messages to the user arranged in chronological order. The functionality additionally annotates the messages with identifiers. Some of the identifiers convey the manner in which the identified messages relate to other messages in the sequence. The functionality therefore uniquely combines the merits of both a flat paradigm for organizing messages (by virtue of the arrangement of the messages in chronological order) and a nested paradigm for organizing messages (by virtue of the linking identifiers added to the messages).
