Abstract
The present invention provides a method for selecting an identified message group from among the plurality of messages sent by a plurality of users of social media. For the messages sent by users other than the original user that quote the message sent by the original message user, the method provides: performing a primary evaluation of the potential for being further resent; identifying a single user who has sent a message for which the primary evaluation result was higher than a predetermined first threshold; identifying a message group similar to a resent messages group, based on a resent messages group that quotes the message send by the single user; performing a secondary evaluation for the potential that the similar message group will be further resent; and selecting a message group for which the secondary evaluation result was higher than a predetermined second threshold.
