Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing information to a plurality of users based on the relevancy of the information to the users are disclosed. An incoming message is received. Similarity scores are generated indicating similarities of the incoming message to features of a plurality of messages. Relevancy scores are generated for the plurality of users, the relevancy scores indicating relevancies of the incoming message to the plurality of users based on the similarity scores and a plurality of user profiles including information descriptive of the plurality of users' preferences for the features of the plurality of users. Message information derived from the incoming message, the relevancy scores, and the plurality of user profiles is delivered to at least some of the plurality of users.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for regulating a flow of information to one or more users is disclosed. A system includes a relevancy threshold for a user and an incoming message having a relevancy score, the relevancy score indicating a relevancy of the incoming message to the user. A method for regulating a flow of information to a user of the system is disclosed. The method determines whether the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold, and delivers to the user message information derived from the incoming message and adjusting the relevancy threshold when the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold. The method adjusts the relevancy threshold by an amount determined by a time-dependent function when the relevancy score of the incoming message does not satisfy the relevancy threshold.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating the relevancy of an incoming message to a plurality of users are disclosed. Similarity scores indicating similarities of the incoming message to features of a plurality of messages are generated. Relevancy scores are generated for the plurality of users indicating relevancies of the incoming message to the plurality of users based on the similarity scores and a plurality of user profiles including information descriptive of the plurality of users' preferences for the features.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for use by an enterprise in which personal messages are processed differently than messages that are intended to constitute official enterprise correspondence (“enterprise messages”). An electronic communication including a message, a recipient identifier identifying at least one recipient of the message, and an status indicator indicating whether the message is a personal message or an enterprise message is received. The message is made available to the at least one recipient if the status indicator indicates that the message is a personal message. If the status indicator indicates that the message is an enterprise message, the message is stored in a searchable database and may also be made available to the at least one recipient.
