Abstract
A portable electronic device is described that permits a user to easily share one or more network IDs with others, even when the user has an obscure, hard-to-remember network ID and/or a large number of different network IDs. A system, method and device is also described that permits a user to aggregate network IDs into different groups depending on the type of networking that the user is seeking to accomplish and to selectively share such groups of network IDs with other users. A system and method is further described that permits a user to easily obscure or otherwise control access to network IDs that have been designated for sharing with an intended recipient.
