Abstract

A computer implemented method and system for simultaneously engaging multiple electronic community boards associated with multiple communities is provided. An electronic community board management platform (ECBMP) receives user information and board information via a graphical user interface, creates one or more electronic community boards associated with one or more communities using the user information and the board information, and generates a unique collective electronic community board for a user using the created electronic community boards. The ECBMP creates and adjusts characteristics of one or more interactive electronic posts in one or more media formats based on media inputs from an electronic device. The ECBMP selectively displays the interactive electronic posts on the created electronic community boards based on display criteria including user location, device location, community location, etc. The ECBMP manages actions, payment transactions, etc., triggered by user inputs from the electronic device on the unique collective electronic community board.
