A method and system to facilitate sharing of information amongst users
comprises assessing a degree of commonality between each of the users.
Once a degree of commonality between the users is assessed, information
is shared amongst the users having an assessed degree of commonality
greater than a predetermined degree of commonality. In this way, the
information being shared is most likely to be useful because it is being
shared by users having common traits and characteristics. The degree of
commonality can be assessed by comparing areas of interest of the users.
The information on the areas of interest may comprise search criteria
independently developed by each user to search for information or utilize
resources in a network. The degree of commonality may also be assessed by
recording each occurrence when a user accepted or did not accept
information obtained from each other user.
