Abstract: The method and system make it possible for devices that may not be co-located to capture information such as images, videos, text, audio, speech, location, etc. and create a composite image therefrom. The method and system includes a session initiated by one of the devices to other devices through a central server and/or by peer-to-peer network to synchronize the capture of information across all the devices. The method and system makes it possible to either synchronize the capture of information at each device or allow for preset time differences when each device captures information or allow for such time differences to be random or otherwise uncontrolled.

Abstract: The methods and systems in this invention apply to messaging systems that are used by people to communicate between a plurality of mobile devices and/or computers. Methods and systems are presented for communicating with participants in a manner that allows for more open discussion and gossiping. The methods and systems permit a conversation between a plurality of users in a manner such that one or more users in the system are excluded from participating in the said conversation. The methods and systems also allow one or more users to participate in a conversation without revealing identity by choosing to be anonymous, choosing an alias, or by impersonating another user or reverting to original identity at any point during the gossip. The methods and systems presented also provide for the option for other users to know if a user is participating by impersonating or via an alias. The methods and systems also allow for any user in the system to delete any message posted by the said user in a conversation.
