"Millions of people participate regularly within online social networks. The Dartmouth CenceMe project [2] is investigating the use of sensors in the phone to automatically classify events in people’s lives, called sensing presence, and selectively share this presence using online social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, replacing manual actions people now perform daily."

This comment is made in 2010 and the Dartmouth gang are only investigating....how to "automatically classify events"

e.Digital, I would venture to say, has over three years in prepairing an application for patent which they filed in the month of Sept 2010....that manages more than that.

There is no comparison as to achievement status

My point, we have to defend against prior art that can't seem to be justified by the USPTO...
