Today we have made a hell lot of progress in the field of Technology which resulted in the existence of Social Media. Now, at least 3 members of a family (consisting of 4 members) use Social Media to a large extent. The reasons for using it would be different, but the usage almost remains the same.
Suppose you read a person’s profile on Facebook. But you want to know more about that person in terms of : What he/she is doing at the moment,etc. A simple logic here is that, people update their Twitter handle much often as compared to their fb profile. Checking the same person’s fb & twitter accounts at different places is not that easy. What if you get the same info at one place ?

I wish they had a system which allows us to write our own codes instead of using the predefined pages which need to be customized.
Analytics Dashboard
Yes, it uses Google Analytics to determine how many visitors could reach out to your social profile using your Splash Page. Also, it gives you a detailed analysis of the updates you have made using your chosen Social sites.
