Abstract

See full text

A social network server provides collaboration networking capability for a network system such as a business system. A user can request to tie a collaboration thread to an anchor in the system. The anchor is a primary topic, which can be selected from topics provided by the system, or entered by the user. The selectable topics are derived from within the system. Whether selected or entered, the topic is associated with the collaboration thread to allow the thread to be managed as a resource in the system. The audience for the collaboration thread is controlled by the user, where topics can be applied as filters to generate an audience. The primary topic directs audience selection, and additional audience selection can be achieved by applying boundary topics. The collaboration thread is presented only to the audience, and the audience can be dynamically altered.
