The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for managing message distribution lists. More specifically, the message distribution list may be location-specific and the recipients listed in the list may be dynamically updated based on their detected presence with respect to a particular location. By dynamically updating a message distribution list based on presence information, recipients of the message can be provided with a greater assurance that the messages they receive are locally relevant.

Presence-based mechanism to include visiting associates in location-specific email distribution lists

Systems and methods for providing a communication bridge between a physical location and a virtual location are provided. In particular, the presence of a visitor to a physical location is detected, and notification of the presence of a visitor is provided to a user associated with the physical location. The notification may include an identification of the visitor. Following notification, real-time communications between the visitor at the first physical location and the user at the virtual location are established, without requiring entry of a communication address for the virtual office of the user by the visitor.

Virtual office presence bridge

An automatic appointment reminder system uses location and/or direction of travel of the reminder recipient relative to appointments to affect the time of sending of appointment reminders to the user, and thus enhances the user's ability to be on-time for appointments.
