ABSTRACT:
The method and system of the present invention permits management of communications within a collaborative computer-based system. The collaborative computer-based system includes multiple display devices, a shared data object that is simultaneously accessible by multiple users within the system. Portions of the shared data object may be displayed on the display devices and cursors are provided within the shared data object. Each of the cursors is associated with one of the users. In managing communications within the collaborative computer-based system, a region within the shared data object may be designated. A designated message is then automatically transmitted in response to selected activities of one or more users within the designated region for the shared data object.
