Abstract
A processor implemented method, system, and/or computer program product switches an electronic social presence between a first device and a second device. An electronic signal indicating a signing in to a social presence server by the first device is received. A determination is made as to whether the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than a predetermined distance. In response to determining that the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than the predetermined distance, the first device signs out from the social presence server, the second device signs in to the social presence server, and a history associated with the electronic social presence is transferred from the first device to the second device.
