Abstract: A system which hosts an electronic forum comprises memory in which is stored profiles of users of the electronic forum, memory in which is stored posts of the electronic forum, and notification generation circuitry. The notification generation circuitry is operable to, automatically in response to creation of a post to the electronic forum, inspect the post for an occurrence of a particular tag. The notification generation circuit is operable to determine, automatically in response to a detection that the post contains an occurrence of the particular tag, which of the users are both subscribed to the particular tag and have permission to view the post; and send, automatically in response to a determination that a first one or more of the users are both subscribed to the particular tag and have permission to view the post, a notification of the post to the first one or more of the users.

Abstract: A computing system may comprise a customer relationship management (CRM) database and a server that hosts an electronic forum. The computing system may generate a case study based on contents of the CRM database, and may post the case study to the electronic forum. The case study may be generated in response to a change in the contents of one or more first selected fields of one or more records of the CRM database. The case study comprises the content of one or more second selected fields of the one or more records of the CRM database. The one or more first selected fields and/or second selected fields may be selected based on one or more user-defined rules stored in memory of said computing system.
