METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PUBLIC COLLABORATIVE INTERFACE FOR PRIVATE NETWORK GROUPS
First Claim
1. An apparatus for a public collaborative interface for a private network group, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out the steps of;
receiving a domain name that enables users associated with the domain name to subscribe to a private network group, wherein the domain name differs from a domain name for the private network group;
outputting a network feed from a user of the private network group to a display device associated with a user associated with the domain name in response to a determination that the user associated with the domain name is subscribed to the private network group; and
outputting a network feed from the user associated with the domain name to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the user associated with the domain name is subscribed to the private network group.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a public collaborative interface for private computer networks. A system receives a domain name that enables users associated with the domain name to subscribe to a private network group, wherein the domain name differs from a domain name for the private network group. The system outputs a network feed from a user of the private network group to a display device associated with a user associated with the domain name in response to a determination that the user associated with the domain name is subscribed to the private network group. The system outputs a network feed from the user associated with the domain name to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the user associated with the domain name is subscribed to the private network group. The received domain name can be an email address.

11. A machine-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for a public collaborative interface for private network groups, which instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:
-
receiving an email address that enables a user associated with the email address to subscribe to a private network group, wherein a domain name associated with the email address differs from a domain name for the private network group; outputting a network feed from a user of the private network group to a display device associated with the user associated with the email address in response to a determination that the user associated with the email address is subscribed to the private network group; and outputting a network feed from the user associated with the email address to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the user associated with the email address is subscribed to the private network group. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method for a public collaborative interface for private network groups, the method comprising:
-
receiving an email address that enables a user associated with the email address to subscribe to a private network group, wherein a domain name associated with the email address differs from a domain name for the private network group; outputting, to the email address, an email inviting the user associated with the email address to subscribe to the private network group; and subscribing the email address to the private network group in response to receiving an acceptance of the email inviting the user associated with the email address to subscribe to the private network group. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method for transmitting code for a public collaborative interface for private network groups on a transmission medium, the method comprising:
-
transmitting code to output, to a display device associated with a user, a list of private network groups to which the user is subscribed via at least one of a domain name and an email address, wherein the domain name and a domain name associated with the email address differ from each domain name for the private network groups; and transmitting code to output, to the display device associated with the user, a network feed from a user of at least one of the private network groups. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
