First Claim
1. A method for providing contextual relevance of an unposted message to an activity stream after a period of time elapses, the method comprising:
- saving a state of said activity stream at a first point in time which includes a message created by a user that has not yet been posted;
comparing a state of said activity stream at a second point in time with respect to said state of said activity stream at said first point in time in response to a threshold amount of time elapsing since saving said state of said activity stream at said first point in time, wherein said second point of time occurs after said threshold period of time has elapsed since said first point in time;
identifying, by a processor, a current topic of interest and one or more users contributing to posts pertaining to said current topic of interest in said activity stream at said second point in time; and
presenting to said user said current topic of interest and a list of said one or more users contributing to posts pertaining to said current topic of interest in said activity stream at said second point in time in response to detecting a contextual relevance of said unposted message with respect to said current topic of interest in said activity stream at said second point in time being below a threshold.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for providing contextual relevance of an unposted message to an activity stream after a period of time elapses. A comparison is made between the current state of the activity stream at a second point in time with respect to the state of the activity stream at a first point in time, which includes an unposted message. The relevance of the unposted message with respect to a current topic of interest in the activity stream at the second point in time is quantified. If the contextual relevance of the unposted message with respect to the current topic of interest in the activity stream at the second point in time is less than a threshold, then the user is presented with an indication of the contextual relevance of the unposted message to the activity stream.
