Abstract
Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, a message received at a user device from a server system, the message indicating that a user of the user device has been added to a logical group of users. Then content may be transmitted from the user device to the server system for distribution to the logical group of users. Then, in response to a determination that the user device has been out of communication with the server system for a predetermined period of time, a determination is made, utilizing a coasting module on the user device, that the user should be removed from the logical group of users based on a factor other than a length of time the user device has been out of communication with the server system.
