Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for selecting and tagging content within an instant messaging (IM) session. The content is selected utilizing a contextual pointer, tagged with a subject and/or key words, then assigned a uniform resource locator (URL), and stored as an IM transcript. A search system allows the IM transcript and/or selected content to be indexed according to the tag, title, and word(s)/phrase(s) selected within the content. The IM transcript is retrieved from a location within the network via the assigned URL. IM users may assign accessibility privileges to the URL of the IM transcript, allowing selected content to be shared via a community and/or corporate network. Private access privileges may be assigned to offer full IM transcript protection.
