Love being "Social" on your social networks, but cannot keep up due to real life bothering you? Well, Google might have a way in the near future.

Google has filed a patented for a software that learns how you behave on social networks. The system auto generates suggestions for personalised reactions or messages. This is aimed at fighting social media over-load, or rather "I want to keep up with the Joneses" attitude.

After all social media came about for one primary purpose, to "connect" to real people across geographies and time zones. The key point being "Real People".
