1. A system comprising:
- a processor coupled to computer-readable storage media containing instructions executable by the processor for implementing an activity component that monitors one or more communications of one or more users of a common workspace in a first shared database; and
a correspond component implemented by the processor that labels a particular communication of the one or more communications monitored by the activity component by applying a first key tag to the particular communication when the particular communication is determined to be related to the common workspace in the first shared database, wherein the first key tag selectively associates the particular communication with the common workspace in the first shared database,wherein the correspond component reviews the particular communication for determining whether the particular communication is related to one or more other shared databases, wherein the correspond component applies one or more additional key tags associated with the one or more other shared databases to the particular communication when the particular communication is determined to be related to the one or more other shared databases, wherein the one or more additional key tags associate the particular communication with corresponding one or more other shared databases.

Abstract
Communications, such as emails or other information, in a work setting can be retained in a shared database that operates similar to an Internet social network. As work activities are performed, the content of the work activities can be associated with one or more shared databases based on the individual performing the activities, a common topic or theme associated with the activity and/or a manual entry. As various individuals review information contained in the shared database, notifications relating to who reviewed the content and a time of review can be sent to a contributor of the content to provide for accountability issues.

13. A method implemented by a processor executing instructions stored in computer-readable storage media, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the processor, work-activity information in one or more communications from one or more users of a plurality of users of a plurality of shared databases; associating, by the processor, the work-activity information with one or more of the shared databases, wherein the work-activity information is associated with the one or more shared databases based on content of the work-activity information or intended recipients of the work-activity information; applying the work activity-information to the one or more shared databases based on the association; monitoring which users of the plurality of users view the work-activity information applied to the one or more shared databases, wherein the users view the work-activity information by accessing content associated with at least one of the one or more shared databases; determining a particular time when each user of the plurality of users reviews the work-activity information contained in at least one of the plurality of shared databases; and notifying a contributor of the work-activity information when the one or more users change the work-activity information contained in the one or more shared databases. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

19. A computer-implemented method implemented by a processor executing instructions stored in computer-readable storage media, the method comprising:
-
monitoring, by an activity component implemented by the processor, one or more communications of one or more users of a common workspace in a first shared database; labeling, by a correspond component implemented by the processor, a particular communication of the one or more communications monitored by the activity component by applying a first key tag to the particular communication when the particular communication is determined to be related to the common workspace in the first shared database, wherein the first key tag selectively associates the particular communication with the common workspace in the first shared database, reviewing, by the correspond component, the particular communication for determining whether the particular communication is related to one or more other shared databases, wherein the correspond component applies one or more additional key tags associated with the one or more other shared databases to the particular communication when the particular communication is determined to be related to the one or more other shared databases, wherein the one or more additional key tags associate the particular communication with corresponding one or more other shared databases.
