Abstract: A system and methods for sharing data among multiple standalone applications include: receiving, by a framework executing on a computing device, at least one keyword based upon a user input on a display of one of a plurality of standalone applications loaded via the framework; and storing the at least one in a context object, wherein the context object is accessible by each of the plurality of standalone applications for sharing the at least one keyword. One or more operations may be further performed based on the shared context object and results including content related or matching with the context object may be gathered from multiple standalone applications loaded in the framework.

Abstract: A method for facilitating communication among web connections connecting to a web application is disclosed. The method includes receiving an indication that a web connection to a web application is established, determining if the web connection is a potential host or a potential client connection. The method includes creating a connection group having members that include at least one of the host and the client connection; allowing the members of the connection group to communicate with each other by receiving a request from at least one of the host and the client connection for a message to be communicated to the members of the connection group; and sending the message received from the at least one of the host and the client connection to the members of the connection group.
