The University of Minnesota has reviewed its files and has located records responsive to your request. These records have been released to the Data Records Center. Please click on the link below to view your records.
Without additional information regarding what units of the University are using social media software, I would have no idea where to look, or what to look for. We checked in purchasing for records of purchase from the companies you cited in your request, and I have attached information from Geofeedia. That contract was not renewed.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further, please contact me.
Thank you,
