I've just shared from WMAU's accounts on both Facebook and Twitter, with the same text - hopefully it will give it a local boost.

Ah, no worries—perhaps that tweet could go out whenever the US is most active on Twitter then (I assume now/the evening? I'm not up to date with my social media usage research...).
If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.

Hi Ed:
Yes we can hyper target post by location (even city FYI). Twitter I don't have the ability to target tweets.
