<blockquote>As  producers, we get bogged down with stuff to do, so one of the biggest  features we like about SND is the ability to schedule posts. We also  like the reminders from the product that tell us when it's been a while  since we've posted. And because this time is customizable, it works for  any newsroom.  Additionally,  it helps us manage all of our talent pages - from the main station page  to anchor and reporter pages. On Twitter, you can see what's trending.  On Facebook, you can see how much TRUE interaction there is with content  -- not just number of fans. It helps us know what our realistic reach  is -- not just the idealistic total fan count. Influence is better than  raw numbers. Station managers can leave us notes within the product and  if we forget to post a picture or link or even spell check, it reminds  us before posting. You can even create quizzes for fans to take -- with  "hints" all linking back to pages on the station website, meaning page  clicks. There are also customizable ad opportunities." <strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://www.socialmediaexplorer.com/social-media-marketing/social-media-management-software-discussion/" target="_blank">The Buyer's Guide Discussion For Social Media Management Software</a></blockquote>
