An apparatus for activity networking, comprising:
- a memory coupled to at least one processor, the processor being configured to:
- transmit, to a server, a request to form a crew, the request including an indication of an activity associated with the crew, an indication of a time for performing the activity, and an indication of a number of available spots on the crew;
- receive from the server a message indicating that all spots on the crew are occupied by a plurality of users;
- and
- provide the plurality of users with a calendar appointment for the activity.
A method for activity networking, comprising:
- transmitting, from an electronic device to a server, a request to form a crew, the request including an indication of an activity associated with the crew, an indication of a time for performing the activity, and an indication of a number of available spots on the crew;
- receiving, by the electronic device, a message indicating that all spots on the crew are occupied by a plurality of users;
- and
- provide the plurality of users with a calendar appointment for the activity.
A server for activity networking, comprising:
- a memory and at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, configured to:
- generate a data structure associated with a crew in response to receiving a request to form the crew, the data structure including an indication of available spots on the crew and an indication of a condition for joining the crew;
- modify the data structure in response to a request to join the crew, wherein modifying the data structure includes decrementing the indication of available spots on the crew;
- detect whether all spots on the crew are occupied by a plurality of users;
- and
- start a communications session associated with the crew in response to detecting that all spots on the crew are occupied, wherein participation in the communications session is limited to the plurality of users and a founder of the crew.
