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;
enabling a subscription to a private network group having a first domain name, by a plurality of users associated with a second domain name, the subscription being based on the association of the second domain name with the first domain name, the second domain name being received from an administrator of the private network group and being different than the first domain name;
enabling a network feed from a user of the private network group to be outputted to a display device associated with at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name in response to a determination that the at least one of the plurality of users is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group;
enabling a network feed from at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name to be outputted to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the at least one of the plurality of users is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group, andenabling the administrator of the private network group to disable at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name from viewing a list of users associated with subscriptions, the list being outputted to the administrator;
outputting a list of users associated with subscriptions to the administrator of 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.

8. A non-transitory 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:
-
enable a subscription to a private network group having a first domain name, by a plurality of users associated with a second domain name, the subscription being based on the association of the second domain name with the first domain name, the second domain name being received from an administrator of the private network group and being different than the first domain name; enable a network feed from a user of the private network group to be outputted to a display device associated with at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name in response to a determination that the at least one of the plurality of users is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group; enable a network feed from at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name to be outputted to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group, and enable the administrator of the private network group to disable at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name from viewing a list of users associated with subscriptions, the list being outputted to the administrator. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for a public collaborative interface for private network groups, the method comprising:
-
enabling a subscription to a private network group having a first domain name, by a user with an email address associated with a second domain name, the subscription being based on the association of the second domain name with the first domain name, the second domain name being received from an administrator of the private network group and being different than the first domain name; enabling a network feed from a user of the private network group to be outputted to a display device associated with at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name in response to a determination that the at least one of the plurality of users is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group; enabling a network feed from at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name to be outputted to display devices associated with users of the private network group in response to a determination that the at least one of the plurality of users is a member of the second domain name and a subscriber of the private network group based on the subscription of the second domain name to the private network group, and enabling the administrator of the private network group to disable at least one of the plurality of users associated with the second domain name from viewing a list of users associated with subscriptions, the list being outputted to the administrator. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
