Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a future messaging system that can be configured to analyze data from one or more data sources in an automated manner in order to detect with a degree of accuracy the occurrence of a possible future event, which may or may not occur in the future. Upon detection of the future event, the future messaging system in some embodiments provides content to a set of one or more recipients. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the future messaging system only provides notification of the detection to the set of recipients. In some embodiments, a user provides the content for release upon the detection of the future event. Along with this content, the user in some embodiments provides a description of the event and a list of one or more recipients for receiving the content upon the detection of the event.
