MANAGEMENT AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF RELATED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for managing and synchronizing electronic communications having a common topic, the method comprising:
- a computer system detecting a first electronic communication involving a first user and a first set of one or more users that has been brought into active view on a user interface of the computer system;
the computer system analyzing the first electronic communication to identify a topic of the first electronic communication;
the computer system determining whether the identified topic of the first electronic communication matches a topic of a second electronic communication involving the first user and a second set of one or more users; and
responsive to the identified topic of the first electronic communication matching a topic of the second electronic communication, the computer system providing to the first user an option to initiate an electronic communication involving the first user and the first and second sets of one or more users.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for managing and synchronizing electronic communications having one or more common topics. A computer system detects a first electronic communication involving a first user and a first set of users. The computer system analyzes the first electronic communication to identify a topic and determines whether the identified topic matches a topic of a second electronic communication involving the first user and a second set of users. Responsive to the identified topic of the first electronic communication matching a topic of the second electronic communication, the computer system provides to the first user an option to initiate an electronic communication involving the first user and the first and second sets of users.
