         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein information related to the group reminder is provided to a provider of services or goods and wherein the provider is permitted to send messages to the chatroom. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein an interactive message in the group chatroom is updated based on at least one of: an arrival of a group member to the location, a delay in arrival of a group member to the location and a departure of a group member from the location. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 receiving a future time window for sending a message;   receiving a set of at least one message to be sent; and   randomly selecting one or more messages included in the set and sending the selected messages during the time window.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 receiving a future time window for sharing content;   receiving a set of one or more content objects; and   sharing one or more content objects included in the set during the time window.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising automatically performing at least one of: sharing content and sending a message based on at least one of: an event, a location and a condition.

 after sharing one or more content objects included in the set, waiting for at least the time interval and then posting, in a chatroom, at least one of the text messages, and 
 after posting one or more text messages included in the set, waiting for at least the time interval and then sharing at least one of the text messages. 
   
     
     
         16 . A system comprising:
 a memory; and   a controller configured to:
 present a first screen enabling a user to communicate in a group chatroom over an instant messaging platform; and 
   
       based on a single click on a button in the first screen, present a second screen enabling the user to view group's content over a social media platform. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to revert to the first screen based on a single click on a button in the second screen. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the second screen shows content shared by members of the group chatroom. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 present an interactive message in a predefined position in the first screen; and   maintain the predefined position during scrolling through content in the first screen.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein an interaction of a user with the interactive message is reflected in a set of corresponding interactive messages presented to a respective set of users.
