Team and single Twitter and Facebook activities can be shown at a glance from the customizable activity page. Ow.ly URL shortener users can track all clicks through Google and see just how fans and followers reacted to posted content and hyperlinks. This can help a marketer adjust their campaigns on the based on statistics to achieve the results they want.
