20090006568 | Network-based collaboration record - A network-accessible data storage service integrated with instant messenger software. Network-based collaboration between one or more collaborators may be facilitated by enabling information exchanged in an instant messaging environment, such as files and comments, to be integrated into a network-accessible data storage service and made available to the one or more collaborators after collaboration in the instant messaging environment has ended. In some embodiments of the invention, a data storage service may comprise an instant messaging service through which the data storage service may be a collaborator. Information exchanged during the network-based conversations may be received by the data storage service as if it were one of the one or more collaborators and may be stored by the data storage service in a network-accessible location. The data may then be made available to the one or more collaborators of the network-based collaboration following the end of the network-based collaboration. | 01-01-2009 |
