Identifying conversations in a social network system having relevance to a first file

A method for a server to identify conversations having relevance to a first file, comprising:

• receiving, by the server, a plurality of conversations, wherein the plurality of conversations were generated by a subject matter search;
• generating, by the server, a list of inquiries based on the plurality of conversations, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the first file and the plurality of conversations, thereby establishing the relationship between the first file and the plurality of conversations by text analysis or filtering;
• providing, by the system server, the list of inquiries to at least one sender of the first file, wherein the sender is provided with write-privilege to the first file;
• receiving from the at least one sender at least one response to the list of inquiries;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of conversations based on the at least one response;
• storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of conversations for access if the first file is selected;
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of conversations to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one sender to the user.

A system for identifying conversations having relevance to a first file, comprising:

• a server configured to present on a first display a list of inquiries to an identified sender of a first file, wherein the sender is provided with write-privilege to the first file, wherein the list of inquiries is based on a plurality of conversations, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the first file and the plurality of conversations, thereby establishing the relationship between the first file and the plurality of conversations by text analysis or filtering;
• the server configured to receive from the identified sender at least one response to the list of inquiries;
• the server configured to select a subset of the plurality of conversations based on the at least one response;
• a server configured to present on a second display the selected subset of the plurality of conversations to a user that selects the first file, and identify the at least one sender to the user.

A programmable storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a non-transitory program of instructions when executed by the machine to perform a method of identifying conversations of a social network system having relevance to a first file, the method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of conversations within the social network system, wherein the plurality of conversations each have a relationship with the first file, wherein the social network system provides a platform for storing and sharing conversation, and each conversation includes a conversation and associated information;
• generating, by a system server, a list of inquiries based on the plurality of conversations, wherein the list of inquiries includes search terms used in a search that identified the first file and the plurality of conversations, thereby establishing the relationship between the first file and the plurality of conversations by text analysis or filtering;
• providing, by the system server, the list of inquiries to at least one sender of the first file, wherein the sender is provided with write-privilege to the first file;
• receiving from the at least one sender at least one response to the list of inquiries;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of conversations based on the at least one response;
• storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of conversations for access if the first file is selected;
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of conversations to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one sender to the user.

• receiving from the at least one sender of the plurality of conversations at least one first response to the first list of inquiries;
• generating, by the system server, a second list of inquiries based on the plurality of conversations;
• providing, by the system server, the second list of inquiries to at least one second sender of the first file, wherein the second sender is provided with write-privilege to the first file;
• receiving from the at least one second sender at least one second response to the second list of inquiries;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of conversations based on the at least one response and the at least one second response;
• storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of conversations for access if the first file is selected;
• providing, by the system server, the selected subset of the plurality of conversations to a user that selects the first file;
• and
• identifying the at least one sender and the at least one second sender to the user.
