In one embodiment, an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the operational state of a computing deviceAn operating systemmay determine an operational state for a computing deviceThe operating systemmay assign a synchronization allotmentto the application modulebased on the operational state. A synchronization engineof the application modulemay implement a synchronization schemebased on the synchronization allotment

Adaptive data synchronization

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing awareness of user availability. A user may activate a device, and a request to manage an availability status can be sent from the device to a communication service. The communication service may resultantly set up monitoring of the user status, and the availability status of the user can be set to available. If an active status update is not received from the user device, the availability status of the user can be changed from available to away. If an active status update for the user continues not to be received (e.g., for a few hours) and/or device connectivity seems lost, the availability status of the user can be changed from away to offline. This can be done in a resource/power efficient manner by not requiring continual execution of an associated application and/or continual network connectivity of the device.

User availability awareness

In one embodiment, a synchronization engineof an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the implicit data classification of a data item. A synchronization enginemay detect a user actionexecuted by a user on a data item. The synchronization enginemay determine an action typefor the user action. The synchronization enginemay assign an item synchronization priority to the data itembased on the action type

Data classification for adaptive synchronization

In one embodiment, an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the operational state of a computing device. An operating systemmay determine an operational state for a computing device. The operating systemmay assign a synchronization allotmentto the application modulebased on the operational state. A synchronization engineof the application modulemay implement a synchronization schemebased on the synchronization allotment

A content page is configured by a user and located on a network. Changes made to the content page are automatically communicated with notifications to a group of contacts for the user. Only contacts with permission to view the content page, or the changed content, will receive the notification and have permission to view the changes. A visual indicator notifies contacts that a content page of one of their contacts has been changed. When the visual indicator or some other contact indicator is selected by the user, a summary module can be provided. The summary module is a portal to network content, including the content page.
