Seems like a good idea to me. On Mar 26, 2014 11:24 AM, "Tilman Bayer" tbayer@wikimedia.org wrote:

Does anyone with prior experience know if city-level (or country/state-level) targetted posts are more likely to be seen by those in the targetted area, as compared to a non-targetted post? eg. a post may only show up for 200 out of 1200 fans; if targetted to a city where 120 of those fans live, will it only appear for approx. 20 of them or closer to all 120?

Good question, Charles - I would like to know the answer, too.
It has to be said that this particular post only reached an organic reach of only 38 people (after two weeks). I think it's worth experimenting further - e.g. it might be different when sharing a new geolocated post, rather than re-sharing one as in this case - but if the numbers are always that low, it's probably not worth it.
