User review "Like many other real estate professionals, I have been working to incorporate social media marketing as part of my overall strategic business plan. One of the things I have implemented within the last year was a Facebook 'business' page. My biggest frustration has been the inability to know when someone commented on my page - unless I literally leave a browser tab open all day and check it obsessively. I heard about Postling in the fall and started using it. I loved that I received an email notifying me of a comment. It gave me the freedom to NOT be tethered to my computer. The recent addition of being able to reply directly via email is even better!" - Nikki Beauchamp, New York City-based real estate agent Recent news In January, Postling announced it had raised an additional $350,000 in seed funding from angel investors. Pricing Compared to competition According to the company, "Every feature we create is done so strictly with the small business owner in mind. We aren't building a tool for social media marketers who sit in front of their computers all day (although they're welcome to use us!), we build it for the busy owner who needs to be incredibly efficient with their social media habits. We help them recognize what needs to be dealt with so they can respond quickly, post in an efficient manner, and aggregate all of the information that they need to gauge their online reputation."
