Claim:
1. A method comprising: identifying a plurality of users of a social media platform for ability of performing a task based on machine-learning processing; generating predicted readiness scores for the identified users using a readiness model of past usage of the social media platform, the readiness model being trained from patterns of social network content updates including time interval during a day and particular day of week for social network usage behavior, wherein a predicted readiness score comprises a value corresponding to whether a user is predicted to be ready for performing the task; determining users that are ready to perform the task based on comparing the predicted readiness scores with a readiness score threshold; generating willingness scores, by a willingness processor, for performing the task by the users determined to be able and ready to perform the task based on performing machine learning processing by training a statistical model with psycho-linguistic analysis using a linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) dictionary for identifying LIWC-based features from keywords extracted from social media content, wherein a willingness score comprises a value corresponding to whether a user is estimated to be willing for performing the task; determining, by the willingness processor, an estimation of users that are willing to perform the task based on comparing the willingness scores with a willingness score threshold; filtering the users by determining trustworthy users based on estimating a likelihood of trustworthiness of the users determined to be willing, identified as having the ability based on determining whether the users are present in a current location required for performing the task, and determined to be ready to perform the task, wherein estimating the likelihood of trustworthiness comprises determining personality traits and prior social behavior from keyword extraction processing of the social media content, determining truthfulness of responses on the social media platform by comparing the responses to fact-based content or voting feedback, filtering trustworthy users from non-trustworthy users and storing the trustworthy users in a database; and electronically sending a request, by a task query processor, that the task be performed by the determined trustworthy users stored in the database that comprises users determined to be willing, identified as having the ability, determined to be trustworthy and determined to be ready to perform the task, wherein the current location of users is determined based on social media status updates and determining electronic device location information.
