Abstract

A method for users to exchange group electronic mail by establishing individual profiles and criteria (302) for determining individualized groups. Users establish subscription (208) to an electronic mailing list (204) by specifying user profiles and profile criteria (302) to screen users. When a user subscribes (208), a web server (346) establishes and stores an individualized list (204) of subscribers (208) who form a mutual criteria match with the user. When the user then sends a message to the mailing list (210), an email server (354) filters her recipient list down to a message distribution list using each recipient's message criteria (302). The message is then distributed to matching users. Additionally, email archives and information contributions from users are stored in a database. A web server creates an individualized set of web pages for a user from the database, containing contributions only from users in his recipient list. In other embodiments, users apply mutual criteria matching and message profile criteria to other group forums, such as newsgroups, voicemail, instant messaging, chat, web-based discussion boards, and online gaming rendezvous.
