Abstract
Formation of connected interest groups in communication threads is described. According to the computer-implemented method, a number of communications within a communication thread that reflect a similar sentiment related to a topic are detected. A level of connectedness of authors of a set of the number of communications is determined and a connected interest group is formed. The connected interest group includes authors with a level of connectedness greater than a predetermined threshold. An indication of the connected interest group is then provided.
