ABSTRACT:
An instant message delivery system includes a network interface for sending and receiving instant messages and a message queue. The system sorts instant messages by determining a priority weight for received messages. The priority weight of a message is determined by considering such characteristics as the size of the message, whether the sender is in a “buddy list” of the recipient, whether the recipient is in a “buddy list” of the sender, and/or whether the message has been marked as “urgent” by the sender. The received messages are then inserted into the queue at a position determined by their respective priority weights and are sent by the system in the order determined by their positions in the queue.
