The method includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a first content consumed by a user. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, objects in the first content. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a second content on the Internet that is similar to the first content, wherein the second content includes one or more objects that reach a threshold similarity to the identified objects in the first content. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a date of creation for the identified first content and the date of creation of the second content. The method further includes arranging, by one or more computer processors, the identified first content and the identified second content in chronological order.

Identifying and displaying related content

An authentication approval request can be received by a first system from a second system. The first system can determine whether the user is required to be logged into at least a second online account hosted by at least a third system unrelated to the second system in order to approve the authentication request. If the user is required to be logged into at least the second online account in order to approve the authentication request, the first system can determine whether the user presently is logged into at least the second online account in at least one presently active user session. If the user presently is logged into at least the second online account in at least one presently active user session, the first system can communicate to the second system a response indicating that the user is approved for authentication with the second system.

Collaborative sign-on

An unsuccessful communication attempt to a mobile receiving device is detected. A contact list associated with the mobile receiving device is accessed. One or more proximate devices to the mobile recipient device are determined. Each of the one or more proximate devices are communication devices of a contact of the contact list. A digitally encoded message is conveyed to at least one of the one or more proximate devices. The digitally encoded message indicates that a communication attempt with the mobile receiving device was unsuccessful and requests a recipient of the digitally encoded message inform a holder of the mobile receiving device of the unsuccessful communication attempt.

Communicating messages to proximate devices on a contact list responsive to an unsuccessful call

A communication attempt directed towards a recipient device can be identified. At least one proximate device geographically proximate to the recipient device can be automatically detected. Responsive to the determining of the proximate devices, a digitally encoded message can be wirelessly conveyed to one or more of the determined proximate devices. In various embodiments the message can be a text message, an instant message, and/or a voice message. The digitally encoded message can direct a user of the proximate device to inform a user of the recipient device of the communication attempt.
