Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving readability and understandability in messages posted on a social media website. The messages posted on a social media website, such as the user's social networking feed, are scanned. The scanned messages are analyzed for topics, meaning and/or tenses using natural language processing. The text in the scanned messages are split into message segments based on topic, meaning, tenses, punctuation, custom identifiers, hashtags and/or @ symbols. These message segments are then grouped based on relatedness of the topics, meaning and/or tenses. The message segments are ordered in each group of message segments, such as based on timestamps. The ordered message segments are then displayed to the user. By displaying these message segments in separate groupings in a logical order, the user will be able to view the messages posted on the user's social media website in a more readable and understandable manner.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for suggesting a preferred manner in communicating with a user. Communications (e.g., electronic mail messages, instant messages, social media posts) with a user from a plurality of other users and responses thereto are monitored. A communication history is then created storing the monitored communications and responses thereto. The communication history is then analyzed to determine a preferred manner in communicating with the user based on various factors (e.g., the types of communications and responses thereto, the times of communications and responses thereto, the topics of communications and responses thereto). In one embodiment, such an analysis utilizes natural language processing and sentiment analysis. In this manner, the user will be contacted in the appropriate way thereby allowing the user to avoid potential interruptions and increase the user's productivity as well as to address matters (e.g., urgent matters) appropriately.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to availability-based video presentation management using a social networking environment. A user request for a provision of a set of contents is received from a user of the social networking environment. A video request to present at least one video of a set of videos to the user in advance of the provision of the set of contents is detected. A set of user profile data in the social networking environment is analyzed with respect to a busyness factor for the user. Based on the set of user profile data with respect to the busyness factor, a selected video of the set of videos is determined. In response to determining the selected video of the set of videos, the selected video of the set of videos is presented to the user in advance of the provision of the set of contents.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for sharing content of interest. Copy actions of content (e.g., photos, text) by users from various sources (e.g., documents, files) are monitored and detected. Users having copied content that are within a threshold degree of similarity are identified. A group consisting of these identified users is then formed. Copy actions of content from the users of the formed group are then monitored. If content copied by a user of the formed group is within a threshold degree of similarity to the content previously copied by one or more other users of the formed group, then a recommendation is made to the user who performed the copy action to share the copied content to the formed group. In this manner, content of interest (relevant content) is shared to those users without requiring those users to actively discover such content of interest.
