Abstract
A user creates dynamic meta-communities that span membership of multiple existing third-party online communities, based on profile attributes. This allows the user to create targeted sub-communities for specific purposes without recreating or duplicating community information. The user can communicate with members of created meta-communities by leveraging the mechanisms provided by the third party online communities.
