1. A system for obfuscation during collaborative communications, comprising:
a first messaging device and a second messaging device connected to each other via a network, wherein the first and second messaging devices each include:
at least one processor coupled to a memory;a user interface and an input device through which a user of the messaging device is able to instruct the system to mark content of a message as sensitive;a content module for marking the content of the message as sensitive, and obfuscating the marked content, wherein the marked content is obfuscated on the messaging device which receives the message;a message analyzer module connected to the content module, wherein the message analyzer module analyzes the marked content;a preference rules module for outputting to the content module one or more predetermined preference rules that instruct that the message or a part of the message be marked as sensitive, wherein the predetermined preference rules are based on at least one of location, time, or people in proximity to the messaging devices; anda detection module for determining at least one of a presence of a device in proximity to, a presence of a person in proximity to, or a location of each of the first and second messaging devices;wherein the content module automatically generates details about the marked content based on the analysis;wherein the automatically generated details are transmitted via the network to a user of the messaging device which receives the message;wherein analyzing the marked content comprises analyzing use of at least one of keywords and key phrases in the marked content, wherein the automatically generated details are based on at least one of the keywords and key phrases;wherein the collaborative communications comprise at least one of instant messaging, messages sent via short message service (SMS) and messages sent via multimedia messaging service (MMS); andwherein the content, message analyzer, preference rules and detection modules are executed on the at least one processor.
