• When Submiting content, Portions can be marked as Social Network "Teaser". Alternetively something like Tweets from @ some twitter msg. max. 140 chars {\twitter} could be used.
• Additional summary/teaser field for eg. facebook & blog entries (or modified article header/wiki description) which may exceeds 140 chars.
• Checkboxes/dropdown selector @ content submission form to define which Social networks should be used to promote/announce.
