Buffer is a conversation we should have.

I've corresponded with them and had a phone meeting to make sure we're getting the most out of them. (And bought the "awesome plan" personally to see if there's more there.) 

I'll set up a meeting for next week where we can discuss and bring some findings. For now, I would say we can do some informal A/B testing of using and not using to see what people think. 

Sound OK?

I see that these aren't being done through Buffer - is that deliberate?

That photo will generate via a link post, and it may be better to get the article out there. 

I move we tweet soon:

Happy Ada Lovelace Day, honoring the woman often regarded as the first computer programmer. http://buff.ly/1OvaKBu

and circle back on a STEM tweet. And post to Facebook:

Happy Ada Lovelace Day, honoring a leading figure for women in science, technology, engineering and math who is also often regarded as the first computer programmer. http://buff.ly/1OvaKBu

Why not do a couple tweets, one on STEM leadership, one on computer pioneer angle, and a Facebook post explaining who she was?

Sounds good but I'm not 100% on how to fit that into a tweet. :) "STEM" is a term that might be alien to a lot of people (it certainly is to me).

Would like it if we can recognize her as leading figure for women in STEM, as we're a tech organization that has diversity as a value.

Other neat fact to share today:

The computer language Ada, created on behalf of the United States Department of Defense, was named after Lovelace.

Perhaps?
