Abstract

Business users in an enterprise need to keep track of relevant information available on the Web for strategic decisions like mergers and acquisitions. Traditionally this is done by the user performing standing queries or alert mechanisms based on topics. A much richer tracking can be done by providing a way for users to initiate and share topics in a single place. In this paper we present an alternative model and prototype for tracking topics of interest based on a continuous user collaboration.
