Methods and systems for connecting messaging accounts

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:

• receive an indication from a messaging client that a first account associated with a messaging service has recently been activated;
• identify existing accounts associated with the messaging service;
• select, based at least in part on a messaging coefficient that indicates a likelihood that a message will result in a meaningful conversation, a number of prioritized accounts from the existing accounts;
• create, for each of the selected prioritized accounts, a blank messaging thread for communications between the respective prioritized account and the first account;
• elevate a priority of the created messaging threads, the elevated priority causing the messaging threads for the selected prioritized accounts to appear before non-prioritized account threads in the messaging client;
• and
• send a notification to the prioritized accounts that the first account has recently been activated.

An apparatus comprising:

• a network receiver configured to receive an indication from a messaging client that a first account associated with a messaging service has recently been activated;
• a processor component configured to identify existing accounts associated with the messaging service, to select, based at least in part on a messaging coefficient that indicates a likelihood that a message will result in a meaningful conversation, a number of prioritized accounts from the existing accounts, to create, for each of the selected prioritized accounts, a blank messaging thread for communications between the respective prioritized account and the first account, and to elevate a priority of the created messaging threads, the elevated priority causing the messaging threads for the selected prioritized accounts to appear before non-prioritized account threads in the messaging client;
• and
• a network transmitter configured to send a notification to the prioritized accounts that the first account has recently been activated.
