Abstract

A social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold is obtained that causes a first subset of social network group members of a social network group to be included in a social network conversation earlier than at least one other social network group member and that further causes the at least one other social network group member to be included in the social network conversation upon satisfaction of the obtained social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold. In accordance with the obtained social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, social network posts of the social network conversation are contemporaneously distributed to the first subset of social network group members and delayed in distribution to the at least one other social network group member. Upon satisfaction of the social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, the social network posts of the social network conversation are distributed to the at least one other social network group member.
