These options would be used for the ability for the system to automatically compile and <br /> display results and trend data, thus reducing Staff time in data compilation when compared to the Facebook <br /> and Twitter options. <br /> .- <br /> Why • • you love • • • community? <br /> aEl <br /> T, I 1—c <br /> You can select up to 3 choices. <br />
