Suggesting a message to user to post on a social network based on prior posts directed to same topic in a different tense

A computer program product for improving the quality of posts in a social network, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:

• monitoring posts posted in a social network environment;
• identifying a topic of a first post from said monitored posts, wherein said topic is a subject of a conversation or discussion in said first post;
• detecting a first tense of said first post directed to said topic;
• extracting time-related information from said first post and setting a reminder at a particular time for a user to post a subsequent message updating said first post;
• monitoring for time based and user triggered events, wherein said time based events are events that trigger recommending or suggesting to said user a message to post to said social network based on a prior post at a particular day/time based on said extracted time-related information, wherein said user triggered events are actions performed by said user that involve posting an update to a previous post;
• transforming said first post of said first tense to a second post of a second tense directed to said identified topic;
• presenting said second post to said user as a recommended post to be posted to said social network;
• associating said first and second posts directed to said topic in said first and second tenses, respectively, and setting a reminder at a particular time for said user to post a subsequent message updating said first and second posts;
• generating a third post directed to said topic in a third tense based on said first and second posts directed to said topic in said first and second tenses, respectively, thereby forming a past/present/future pairing of posts, wherein said third post is a restatement of said first and second posts;
• presenting said third post to said user as a recommended post to be posted to said social network;
• and
• obtaining metadata concerning linkages between said past/present/future pairing of posts to be utilized in analytical systems to determine user patterns to determine behavior of said user.

A system, comprising:

• a memory unit for storing a computer program for improving the quality of posts in a social network;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory unit, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
• monitoring posts posted in a social network environment;
• identifying a topic of a first post from said monitored posts, wherein said topic is a subject of a conversation or discussion in said first post;
• detecting a first tense of said first post directed to said topic;
• extracting time-related information from said first post and setting a reminder at a particular time for a user to post a subsequent message updating said first post;
• monitoring for time based and user triggered events, wherein said time based events are events that trigger recommending or suggesting to said user a message to post to said social network based on a prior post at a particular day/time based on said extracted time-related information, wherein said user triggered events are actions performed by said user that involve posting an update to a previous post;
• transforming said first post of said first tense to a second post of a second tense directed to said identified topic;
• presenting said second post to said user as a recommended post to be posted to said social network;
• associating said first and second posts directed to said topic in said first and second tenses, respectively, and setting a reminder at a particular time for said user to post a subsequent message updating said first and second posts;
• generating a third post directed to said topic in a third tense based on said first and second posts directed to said topic in said first and second tenses, respectively, thereby forming a past/present/future pairing of posts, wherein said third post is a restatement of said first and second posts;
• presenting said third post to said user as a recommended post to be posted to said social network;
• and
• obtaining metadata concerning linkages between said past/present/future pairing of posts to be utilized in analytical systems to determine user patterns to determine behavior of said user.
