1. An electronic collaboration system comprising:
- one or more storage devices on which resides at least one database in which is stored a plurality of user-posted messages, wherein each of the plurality of user-posted messages is associated, in the at least one database, with at least one of a plurality of tags;
interface generation circuitry operable to;
access the one or more storage devices;
generate at least one first user interface element of the electronic collaboration system, wherein the at least one first user interface element is interactive such that a user can interact with it to select from among a plurality of categories;
generate a first plurality of second user interface elements of the electronic collaboration system when a first one of the plurality of categories has been selected via the first user interface element, and a second plurality of second user interface elements of the electronic collaboration system when a second one of the plurality of categories has been selected via the first user interface element, wherein;
each of the first plurality of second user interface elements is associated, in the at least one database, with a respective one of the plurality of tags, and is interactive such that a user can select it to select the associated one of the plurality of tags; and
each of the second plurality of second user interface elements is associated, in the at least one database, with a respective one of the plurality of tags, and is interactive such that a user can select it to select the associated one of the plurality of tags;
generate a third user interface element of the electronic collaboration system that presents the user-posted messages associated with the selected one of the plurality of tags; and
network interface circuitry operable to receive, via a network, requests generated in response to user interaction with the at least one first user interface element, the first plurality of second user interface elements, the second plurality of second user interface elements; and
the third user interface element.
