Abstract
Techniques are provided for delivering messages to users of client devices in a network. At a server device in a network, location information of each of a plurality of client devices is obtained. Each of the client devices runs a presence application for a user in the network and is configured to log-in with one or more resources. A message is received from a sender device in the network. The message is intended to be presented to the user via the presence application and one or more of the resources. Based on the location information of the client devices, one or more designated client devices are selected to which the message is to be sent such that the message is presented to the user via the presence application running on the one or more designated client devices and via one or more of the resources.
