My initial thoughts on this FSO:
I've installed both plugins and read the manuals.
The Paged Curator 2.0 plugin sends your blog post to the following accounts: twitter, linkedin, friend feed, wordpress.com, blog.com, plurk, live journal, posterous, identi.ca, friends-hood.com and bitly. You need to verify your log in within the dashboard to ensure your blog video post will be received.
I have no intention of using my linkedin profile for my affiliate niche (I use it for offline marketing only), so I'm assuming that account works.
I did not setup a Friend Feed account because the email and twitter option signups are not working. It will only allow you to use your Facebook profile account (not Facebook Pages). Just my personal preference.
I was unable to verify my blog.com account within the plugin dashboard, but I could do so in my browser, which is weird.
Posterous and identi.ca are no longer accepting new users.
So I should be able to post to at least 5 of the 11 accounts offered.
As far as using the plugin to setup campaigns, I thought it was pretty cool. I searched for 8 youtube videos. I selected two that I wanted to post on my blog. I changed the title, added tags, anchor text, custom content to display above the video and selected one of my prepopulated categories. This is a pretty sweet curation process. I've scheduled these videos to post tomorrow morning at two different times. I'll update this thread when I verify that they posted to the accounts above. As we know, video is hot and getting them posted this easily will be great, if it works ;)
The Social Curator Lockdown plugin, is not working at this moment.
So far, I've only been able to setup the lockdown settings.
In the manual it states:
"Due to Facebook graph update, social curation with Facebook is getting reworked and will be available
to all users of Social Curator Lockdown plugin in few days.
The update will be released together with the Social Analytics and Time Video Hover Lock features!"
I would be pissed right now if I had purchased this plugin. It's also weird that no one commented on this in the FSO thread. Keep in mind this is a 7-Day launch, but I'm not sure of the end date since his thread was flooded with pre-launch comments. I have no idea when a working update will be released.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS FSO:
There were two posts as scheduled (one hour apart) on my blog. Only one was posted in the correct category.
I checked my accounts to verify the posts:
both posted on twitter
0 posts on blog.com
one post on live journal, plurk, wordpress.com and bitly.
I wouldn't bother with this Paged Curation 2.0 plugin. I recommend the Curation Fire plugin below to add content to your blog.

To automate your posting, I recommend a free plugin: Nextscript's Social Networks Auto Poster:
Code:

I use this plugin to autopost to facebook, twitter, stumble upon and tumblr. I just added the new accounts I created for this test which included live journal, plurk and wordpress.com. Also, you can post to your facebook fan page with this plugin ;)
It also autoposts to blogger, diigo, delicious, friendfeed, instapaper and linkedin. A pro version is available for $49 to autopost to Pinterest and Google Plus. The pro version also allows you to post to multiple accounts. That's pretty useful if you are promoting with niche specific social accounts and want to use one tool to manage all of them.
