Abstract:
1. A method, including: creating a data structure containing a plurality of tag to contact address mappings, wherein each mapping is specified by a sending user; receiving a tag for an object; looking up the tag in the data structure to determine which tag to contact address mapping is associated with the tag; identifying a contact address from the determined tag to contact address mapping; identifying, as objects to share with the contact address, objects to which the tag is assigned, wherein identifying is performed by a processor; using the determined tag to contact address mapping to automatically suggest, via a user interface, sharing with the contact address object data associated with the objects to share; receiving an indication that the suggestion has been accepted; and in response to receiving the indication, sending object data associated with the objects to share to the contact address, based on the association between the tag and the contact addresses; wherein the contact address is associated with a recipient system configured to receive object data sent to the contact address, and is further configured to use the sender's contact address to automatically identify a tag to which the sender's contact address maps based on a recipient user's contact address to tag mapping specified by the recipient user, wherein the recipient's contact address to tag mapping is different from the sending user's tag to contact address mappings, and to automatically suggest, to the recipient, the identified tag to assign to the object.
