Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for selectively disseminating content in social media are provided in the illustrative embodiments. Prior to a dissemination of the content, the content being prepared for the dissemination is detected. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), the content is analyzed to identify a theme and a subject matter of the content. A set of data comprising data related to a set of social connections of a user in the social media is analyzed. A second theme resulting from analyzing a first data in the set of data is compared with the theme, the first data corresponding to a first social connection in the set of social connections. When the second theme matches the theme within a threshold, the first social connection is added to a selected sharing group. The content is disseminated to the selected sharing group.
