Abstract
One example of this system provides the ability to setup a two-way alert notification within an IM system. All parties can negotiate on how they set up the alert and what to do when it sets off. One of the approaches presented in this invention is to modify the basic functionality of existing alert notifications, in such a way that it allows the targeted remote user to become aware that an alert has been set to report the change in his/her availability status, and enables this remote user to respond. A popup message on the targeted user's side notifies the user of this alert event.
