2. Recommended
This is where the magic happens. A personalized machine learning algorithm looks at which posts you share and which you aren’t interested in. It will adapt over time and refine its recommendations based on your personal usage patterns.

3. Owned
Posts from profiles that your organization owns. Keep an eye for newsworthy announcements and help spreading the word.

Happy Social Selling
