Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for a social media amplification operation which includes a workflow to amplify content over a plurality of social media platforms. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the workflow translates social media postings made in one language (e.g., the English language) into postings in multiple languages. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the broadcast the social media posting via a region specific user names (e.g., a region specific handle). Additionally, in certain embodiments, the workflow further includes identifying and adding region specific influencers. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the workflow further includes identifying and using region specific tag data (e.g., a region specific #tag) for the region and amplifying the information across multiple region specific social media platforms in their preferred time.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implementable method for performing a social media amplification operation within social media amplification environment, the social media amplification environment comprising a social media amplification system executing on a hardware processor of an information handling system, a social media amplification repository, a social media platform and a user device, the social media amplification system, the social media platform and the user device exchanging information via a network, comprising:
monitoring the social media platform for an outgoing post, the outgoing post containing content of interest, the monitoring being performed by a chief agent, the chief agent collecting information from the social media platform via an application program interface of the social media platform;
determining whether the content of interest applies to a target region via the social media amplification system, the determining being performed by a region mapper module of the chief agent, the region mapper module interacting with the social media platform to check whether the outgoing posts is in a particular language;
automatically modifying the outgoing post via the social media amplification system to apply to the target region to provide a modified post; and,
broadcasting the modified post to a different social media platform, the different social media platform being associated with the target region.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises translating a language of the content of interest to a language of the target region.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises modifying tag data associated with the outgoing post to apply to the target region.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises adjusting a broadcast time for the modified post to correspond to a time change associated with the target region.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises associating a region specific user name with the modified post for a particular region.

6. A system comprising:
a processor;
a data bus coupled to the processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations for performing a social media amplification operation within social media amplification environment, the social media amplification environment comprising a social media amplification system executing on a hardware processor of an information handling system, a social media amplification repository, a social media platform and a user device, the social media amplification system, the social media platform and the user device exchanging information via a network and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
monitoring the social media platform for an outgoing post, the outgoing post containing content of interest, the monitoring being performed by a chief agent, the chief agent collecting information from the social media platform via an application program interface of the social media platform;
determining whether the content of interest applies to a target region via the social media amplification system, the determining being performed by a region mapper module of the chief agent, the region mapper module interacting with the social media platform to check whether the outgoing posts is in a particular language;
automatically modifying the outgoing post via the social media amplification system to apply to the target region to provide a modified post; and,
broadcasting the modified post to a different social media platform, the different social media platform being associated with the target region.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises translating a language of the content of interest to a language of the target region.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises modifying tag data associated with the outgoing post to apply to the target region.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises adjusting a broadcast time for the modified post to correspond to a time change associated with the target region.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises associating a region specific user name with the modified post for a particular region.

11. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code for performing a social media amplification operation within social media amplification environment, the social media amplification environment comprising a social media amplification system executing on a hardware processor of an information handling system, a social media amplification repository, a social media platform and a user device, the social media amplification system, the social media platform and the user device exchanging information via a network, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
monitoring the social media platform for an outgoing post, the outgoing post containing content of interest, the monitoring being performed by a chief agent, the chief agent collecting information from the social media platform via an application program interface of the social media platform;
determining whether the content of interest applies to a target region via the social media amplification system, the determining being performed by a region mapper module of the chief agent, the region mapper module interacting with the social media platform to check whether the outgoing posts is in a particular language;
automatically modifying the outgoing post via the social media amplification system to apply to the target region to provide a modified post; and,
broadcasting the modified post to a different social media platform, the different social media platform being associated with the target region.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises translating a language of the content of interest to a language of the target region.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises modifying tag data associated with the outgoing post to apply to the target region.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises adjusting a broadcast time for the modified post to correspond to a time change associated with the target region.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the automatically modifying comprises associating a region specific user name with the modified post for a particular region.
