You will be able to send these posts to several different individuals or alternatively you might want to send it to a group in which case that would be facilitated as well.
It is easy to see just how exciting this feature is going to be for lots of different people. Not only will it allow influencers and the like to distribute their content to lots of people all at once, but brands and other types of content creators will be able to do the same as well.
