Various embodiments for event-based information sharing are disclosed. In one example embodiment, an event definition describing an event is determined. An event geofence associated with a location of the event is generated and content is shared between invitees attending the event and located within an area of the event geofence.

Event-based content sharing using geofencing

A client device displays message content from one or more email messages in a conversation thread. The client device displays, concurrently with the message content from the one or more email messages, one or more respective social network objects. Each displayed social network object has one or more selection portions, and each displayed social network object corresponds to a respective post by a respective participant in the conversation thread. In response to selection of a first portion of a respective social network object of the one or more displayed social network objects, the client device displays a respective social network page of the respective participant who authored the respective post corresponding to the respective social network object.

Concurrent display of conversation messages and social network posts by conversation message authors

A server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors receives from a client device a request, the request comprising a request for message content from one or more email messages in a conversation thread. The server system responds to the request by identifying the message content, identifying candidate authors, and obtaining qualifying posts by the candidate authors, the qualifying posts satisfying predefined criteria. The server system furthermore selects a subset of the qualifying posts, and prepares the selected subset of the qualifying posts and the message content for concurrent display at the client device.
