Abstract
A computer implement method for creating a user group is provided. In accordance with the method, a temporary session identifier is generated for a first session associated with the user group. The temporary session identifier is communicated to a display for presentation. Requests to join the first session are received from a plurality of users. The requests include the temporary session identifier. User identifiers of the plurality of users are correlated with the temporary session identifier. The user group is created, comprising the user identifiers of the plurality of users and a name for said user group. The user group is stored in memory. A computing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to implement the method are also described.
