Abstract

A method, and associated computer system and computer program product, for notifying users of events. A notification server that includes a computer receives a notification rule. The notification server generates, for the received notification rule, a unique identifier for communication using a predefined social networking service. The notification server receives an indication of an event that occurred in an event source. The notification server determines whether the received indication satisfies the notification rule. In response to determining that the received indication satisfies the notification rule, the notification server marks the received event, using the unique identifier and broadcasting the marked event using the social networking service for receipt by those users who have access to said unique identifier.
