Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for introducing asynchronous messaging concepts into a synchronous messaging system. As a conversation is carried out, different topics may be identified and highlighted as separate threads within the conversation. A new thread may be identified based on a number of factors, including (for example) time between messages, questions raised in a communication, discussions of dates, the inclusion of links, and any mentions of specific names. Further embodiments relate to techniques for navigating in asynchronous message threads. For example, a synchronous message alias may be created that redirects a display to a location of an asynchronous message. An indication may be displayed to designate that the asynchronous message is displayed out-of-order.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for introducing asynchronous messaging concepts into a synchronous messaging system. As a conversation is carried out, different topics may be identified and highlighted as separate threads within the conversation. A new thread may be identified based on a number of factors, including (for example) time between messages, questions raised in a communication, discussions of dates, the inclusion of links, and any mentions of specific names. The beginning and/or end of a thread may be identified. Users may be notified of new messages on a thread-by-thread basis.
