Abstract: A computer-implemented method for leveraging social networking information with a messaging client are disclosed. In one aspect, a messaging client (e.g., email client), or an application designed to be closely integrated with an email client, analyzes a message to identify a sender, and then generates a query including information identifying the sender that is forwarded to a social networking application to be processed. The social networking application returns information about the sender (e.g., from a social networking profile), that can be viewed by a user of the messaging client, thereby providing additional information about the sender of a particular message.

Abstract: A method for planning an event with a computer system that includes the steps of gathering the constraints, creating filtered layers based on the constraints, intersecting at least two filtered layers, and determining at least one optimal time for the event. In another preferred embodiment, the method for planning an event includes the steps of gathering the constraints, creating filtered layers based on the constraints, intersecting at least two filtered layers, and determining at least one set of event details.
