Methods and systems for facilitating communication in a collaborative work environment

A method, comprising:

• maintaining in at least one database information about a plurality of virtual spaces, wherein a plurality of users share information via the plurality of virtual spaces, wherein the plurality of users and the plurality of virtual spaces are associated with a collaborative work environment;
• causing representations corresponding to the plurality of virtual spaces to be displayed on a first computing device associated with a first user;
• sending information associated with at least one virtual space among the plurality of virtual spaces to the first computing device, wherein the information comprises information indicative of at least one event;
• and
• causing at least one portion of the information indicative of the at least one event to be displayed in at least one representation corresponding to the at least one virtual space on the first computing, wherein the at least one portion of the information comprises at least one of a time associated with the at least one event, information about users associated with the at least one virtual space, or information about at least one sub-channel associated with the at least one virtual space.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-readable instructions that upon execution by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• maintaining in at least one database information about a plurality of virtual spaces, wherein a plurality of users share information via the plurality of virtual spaces, wherein the plurality of users and the plurality of virtual spaces are associated with the collaborative work environment;
• causing representations corresponding to the plurality of virtual spaces to be displayed on a first computing device associated with a first user;
• sending information associated with at least one virtual space among the plurality of virtual spaces to the first computing device, wherein the information comprises information indicative of at least one event;
• and
• causing at least one portion of the information indicative of the at least one event to be displayed in at least one representation corresponding to the at least one virtual space on the first computing, wherein the at least one portion of the information comprises at least one of a time associated with the at least one event, information about users associated with the at least one virtual space, or information about at least one sub-channel associated with the at least one virtual space.
