<div><br></div><div>On a slightly related note(unrelated to social media, but related to numbers) of campaign tracking, am looking to gather numbers for the SiteNotice campaign atleast and have talked to Howie Fung during the Hackathon for some improvements in SiteNotice mechanisms taking inputs from Fundraising team. I hope we will work on it sooner. For people who are not aware, extensive analysis goes behind the fundraising and they gather numbers on many things(from clicks to actual payments) to see which campaigns are effective and use them. </div>
