Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media are provided for connecting devices. Shared spaces may be created among one or more users and/or devices. Based on various factors including locations, histories among users, time of day, etc., spaces may be created among users such that content may be shared within the shared space. The spaces may be created using multiple technologies such that one user may connect to the space via a first identifier format while a second user may connect to the space via a second identifier format. Once created, content may be shared with one or more users of the space. Depending on privacy and/or security settings of the space, any user may invite other users to join the space. The content may be available to any participant once the space has terminated.
