Abstract: A network-connected communication system is provided, via which individuals may engage in dialog with one or more dialog members. Differing views of the dialog may be presented to different individuals, based on the viewer's association with the dialog and/or variable privacy settings associated with the dialog. Dialogs may be initiated as private conversations, with members electing to make available views of the conversation to individuals other than the dialog members. Tools, such as redaction tools, may be provided for dialog participants to control availability of dialog content outside of dialog members. A dialog display user interface may be provided to dialog members, which includes a toggle permitting members to toggle between public and private dialog views, thereby highlighting differences in how a dialog is rendered to different audiences. Association-based and variable privacy may also be implemented in connection with online forums and restricted access communities.

Abstract: An electronic communication system, such as a question-and-answer service, is provided in which a user submitting a question specifies one or more dialog network members to whom a notification of the question is provided. Authenticated responses by a member are published to the asker and other members. Responses may be made available to external users, with content contributors being either publicly identified or anonymous. If authorized, members of a dialog may add other individuals as members of the dialog, and imbue upon them special rights relative to the dialog.

Abstract: An electronic communication service, such as a question-and-answer service, is provided in which content contributions include post-level qualifiers to demonstrate, e.g., level of expertise in the subject matter of each contribution. User views of dialog content may be based on post-level qualifier content and/or the content contributor's association with the viewer or dialog initiator. The service can implement hierarchical association groups to enable overlapping dialog with shared and unique content.

Abstract: Generally described, aspects of the present disclosure relate to the management of event data. In one aspect, an event management service obtains information related to one or more events and implements steps related to the collection of event data. In another aspect, based on the collected information, the event management service can implement one or more event data management protocols. For example, the event management service can track the progression of data analysis related to the event data, such as implementing various error analysis tools or methodologies. In another example, the event management service can implementing tracking methodologies that can determine when to implement various escalations or follow up actions based on the processing of event data. In still a further aspect, the event management service can implement various reporting or auditing related to the collection of the event data, the processing of the event data or both.

Abstract: An electronic communication system, such as a question-and-answer service, is provided in which a user submitting a question specifies one or more recipients of the question. Authenticated responses by a recipient are published to the asker and other recipients. Responses may be made available to external users, with content contributors being either publicly identified or anonymous.

Abstract: Computer tools, processes, and systems for capturing web content are provided. A webpage is rendered on a user device. An area within the rendered webpage is selected. Metadata describing the location of the web content within the selected area of the rendered webpage is determined and persistently stored within a database. A window is provided on a user device rendering the web content corresponding to the selected area. The web content is rendered within the window in the same context as the web content was initially rendered on the user device. The rendered web content may include partial objects or elements of the web page and provide all the functionality normally associated with the web content. The web content may be shared with other users including sending a message with a link configured to render the web content corresponding to the selected area on a user device.
