Abstract

A group definition is received via a network interface. Communications are transmitted to destinations, the communications comprising an invitation to associate with the a content sharing group. Authentication data associated with users that accept the invention is encrypted. The accepting users are associated with the content sharing group. A content gallery definition is received. A communication is received that the content gallery is to be shared with the content sharing group. The content gallery is caused to be instantiated on devices of users associated with the group. A content request for the content sharing group is received and the content request is transmitted accordingly to users associated with the group. A content item is received in response the request and the content item is transmitted to user devices associated with the group and enabled to appear in instantiations of the content gallery on the user devices.

receive an invitation to join a first content sharing group;
detect an action of a user corresponding to acceptance of the invitation to join the first content sharing group;
at least partly in response to the detected user action corresponding to acceptance of the invitation to join the first content sharing group, cause an acceptance indication to be transmitted to a remote system;
in response to at least one communication from the remote system, cause a first content gallery comprising a gallery of images to be instantiated on the computer system;
enable a thumbnail of an image included in the first content gallery instantiated on the computer system in response to at least one communication from the remote system to be rendered as a representation of the first content gallery, wherein user selection of the thumbnail causes images included in the first content gallery to be displayed;
enable a number to be rendered in association with the thumbnail of an image included in the first content gallery rendered as a representation of the first content gallery, the number corresponding to a quantity of content items included in the first content gallery;
receive a new content item in association with an indication that the new content item is associated with the first content gallery;
enable an updated number to be rendered in association with the thumbnail of an image included in the first content gallery rendered as a representation of the first content gallery, the updated number reflecting the association of the new content item with the first content gallery;
receive a user selection of the representation of the first content gallery;
in response to the user selection of the thumbnail of an image included in the first content gallery, comprising the associated new content item, rendered as a representation of the first content gallery, cause at least a portion of the content items associated with the first content gallery to be rendered;
receive a content request comprising text from the remote system;
cause the content request comprising text from the remote system to be rendered;
receive a user provided content item, wherein the user provided content item is provided in response to the rendered content request comprising text;
and
cause the user provided content item to be transmitted in association with an identification of the rendered content request.
