Abstract
A system and method for visual importance indication enhancement for collaborative environments comprises a processor for establishing a set of attributes for a primary participant based on attributes obtained from data sources accessible by the primary participant, generating a dynamic rule in accordance with the set of attributes, applying the dynamic rule to an activity stream comprising one or more messages to obtain points of commonality between a participant and the primary participant and determining an importance level of at least one of the one or more messages, and visually indicating the points of commonality and the importance level of the at least one message as a display on a display device. The system can further comprise computer readable storage medium for storing data including the set of attributes.
