Abstract
A method, system, and/or computer program product alter a state of a transmitted message. One or more processors detect an initial broadcast of a message. The message includes a time-sensitive posting, which is related to an event that occurs at an event time. Processor(s) then compare a current time to the event time. In response to determining that the current time is within a predefined time period in proximity to the event time, processor(s) issue an instruction to alter a state of the message.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors, an initial broadcast of an electronic message, wherein the electronic message includes a time-sensitive posting, wherein the time-sensitive posting is related to an event that occurs at an event time;
- comparing, by one or more processors, a current time and the event time;
- and
- in response to determining that the current time is within a predefined time period in proximity to the event time, issuing, by one or more processors, an instruction to alter a state of the electronic message.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage mediums, wherein said one or more computer readable storage mediums are not transitory signals per se, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to detect an initial broadcast of an electronic message, wherein the message includes a time-sensitive posting, wherein the time-sensitive posting is related to an event that occurs at an event time;
- program instructions to compare a current time and the event time;
- and
- program instructions to, in response to determining that the current time is within a predefined time period in proximity to the event time, issue an instruction to alter a state of the electronic message.
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, one or more computer readable storage mediums, wherein said one or more computer readable storage mediums are not transitory signals per se, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to detect an initial broadcast of an electronic message, wherein the electronic message includes a time-sensitive posting, wherein the time-sensitive posting is related to an event that occurs at an event time;
- program instructions to compare a current time and the event time;
- and
- program instructions to, in response to determining that the current time is within a predefined time period in proximity to the event time, issue an instruction to alter a state of the electronic message.
