Abstract

See full text

Embodiments herein provide geolocation notifications to increase collaboration between users. Specifically, a collaboration tool is configured to receive, from a social media application, an indication of a geolocation of a first user, as well as information about an availability of the first user. A second user is notified about the geolocation of the first user and the availability of the first user, which is used to generate a collaborative meeting event for the first user and the second user according to the geolocation of the first user, the availability of the first user, an availability of the second user, and a location of the second user. The second user is automatically notified about the collaborative meeting event, which may be automatically scheduled in a calendar application. As such, the collaboration tool unifies user geolocation and availability information in order to connect interested users with one another in a mutually beneficial way.
