`Isn't presence just the ability to know availability information like in an IM client? Will, it feels pretty standard to me. -- dave`
yes it is. BUT there are alot of options with such a presence system. Fine, I can see Dave on my display but what options do I have? Shall I call him right away? I can see that he is `available` but is it because he forgot to change his `availability`? Or was his mobile phone which runs on a context awareness system, unable to do it for some reason? Also I see that Dave is available but how to contact him? Send him an SMS? Call him right away? Poke him via an instant message so that his mobile phone vibrates in order to let him know that I am interested in communicating with him? The `presence` displays I have seen while visiting different corporations do not give a user alot of different options... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
