Methods and systems for aggregating digital content captured at an event. In one aspect, a connection is established from a computing device to a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled event check-in point located at the event. The NFC enabled event check-in point is encoded with event identification information for the event. The event identification information includes an event Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a webpage associated with a computing system. The computing device receives event identification information including the event URL from the NFC enabled event check-in point, and transmits digital images captured at the event to a computing system.

Aggregating photos captured at an event

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for providing a live stream of event content is provided. In an embodiment, a method may include defining an online collaborative space associated with an event. A plurality of event participants may be associated with the event. Content contributions may be received from one or more of the event participants. An event content update may be transmitted to a client event application based on the received content contributions to provide a live stream of event content.

System and method for event content stream

A method and computing system for providing, using one or more computing devices, a plurality of users of a social network with the ability to schedule a topic-specific, synchronous communication session to occur at a future time. An indication is received, from a first user of the plurality of users, to schedule the topic-specific, synchronous communication session to occur at a future time. Electronic invitations are provided concerning the topic-specific, synchronous communication session, using the one or more computing devices, to one or more invited users chosen from the plurality of users of the social network.

Synchronous communication system and method

A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method further configured to allow access to the event page to one or more members of the social network and to determine a subset of the one or more members of the social network. The method further configured to provide the subset of the one or more members of the social network with permission to edit the event page and receive real-time updates to the event page from the subset of the one or more members of the social network.

System and method for hosting and sharing a live event

Implementations generally relate to generating photo animations. In some implementations, a method includes receives a plurality of photos from a user. The method also includes selecting photos from the plurality of photos that meet one or more predetermined similarity criteria. The method also includes generating an animation using the selected photos.

Generating photo animations

A computer-implemented method and computing system for identifying, using one or more computing devices, an appointment scheduled for at least one user. Some embodiments may include determining, using the one or more computing devices, a present location for the at least one user and generating, using the one or more computing devices, a reminder for the appointment based upon, at least in part, the present location.

Location-based reminder process

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for interacting with images having similar content. In an embodiment, a method may include identifying one or more event attributes associated with an ongoing event. The method may also include determining one or more statistical characteristics associated with the one or more of the event attributes. The method may further include generating a prompt to an event participant to take a photograph during the ongoing event based on, at least in part, the one or more statistical characteristics.
