Abstract: Communication abuse prevention techniques are described. In an implementation, a reputation level for a communication is determined based on relation information for a sender and an intended recipient of the communication. A challenge is invoked that is to be completed by the sender before the communication is sent. The challenge is selected based on the reputation level for the communication. The communication is caused to be available for access based on successful completion of the challenge. Access to the communication is inhibited in response to a subsequent determination of the reputation level that indicates that the reputation level for the communication has changed to a new reputation level prior to the communication being accessed by the intended recipient. The subsequent determination is based on additional information associated with the sender of the communication.

Abstract: A method for negotiating details of an event is disclosed. A user interface provides a set of widgets adapted to define details of the event, and at least one widget adapted to create a poll for a detail of the event. When the widget to create a poll is selected, at least one data field is provided to receive options regarding the event detail. Once the event is saved, it is published to a web page, and invitations are sent electronically to guests. If a poll has been created, then the published web page includes voting buttons that may be selected by the guests when they visit the web page such that preferences may be accommodated in scheduling the event. Further, the event web page is modified each time a vote button is selected such that tallies of the votes for each option are displayed.

Abstract: A contextual computer workspace feature provides users with a mechanism to capture and output a state of a contextual computer workspace so that the user may continue working on a computer-based task as though no interruptions occurred. A state of a contextual computer workspace, including the window views and content thereof, is captured. Upon capturing a state of a contextual computer workspace, an indication to access the contextual computer workspace is received. The state of the contextual computer workspace is restored and the restored state is then output to communicate the contextual computer workspace to the user.
