Scheduled Tweets

Twuffer.com is a free service that enables you to enter future tweets, also known as scheduled tweets and timed tweets.

You type in your tweet text and select a date and time that you want your tweet to be posted to your Twitter.com account.

You can enter as many scheduled tweets as you want. Twuffer.com will post them at the appointed date and time.

Some uses for scheduled tweets include:

• pre-written announcements
• event/conference reminders
• reminder to tune into weekly podcast
• daily tips

The advantage of a scheduled tweet service is that you can enter all your scheduled tweets in days, weeks, or even in months in advance.

You login to twuffer.com using your twitter.com username/password. There's no separate twuffer.com login to setup and remember. If you have several twitter accounts, no problem -- just login to twuffer.com using the username/password of the twitter account that you want to use.

Once logged into twuffer.com, there's a "Type your tweet" box where you type your tweet (has the typical "140 character" countdown), and also a "When to tweet" popup calendar and time dropdown menu to set the date/time of your new scheduled tweet.

Below the tweet entry area, there are four tabs:

• Dashboard tab: Shows how many tweets you've entered, how many are queued, how many have been sent, the next tweet to go out, and the previous tweet that went out.


• Queued tweets: List of scheduled tweets. Each row shows the text to be sent, date/time when to be sent, and an X to delete the tweet.


• Sent tweets: List of sent tweets. Each row shows the text sent, date/time when was sent, and an X to delete the tweet from the log (to delete actual tweets from twitter.com you have to go to twitter.com itself).


• Settings: Settings for timezone and date/time display formats.

I do use twuffer.com myself. One of my sites is about romance. On its corresponding twitter account, @moreromance, I tweet daily love quotes. Well, I don't actually spend time on it each day sending out a tweet, it just appears that way. I spent one day entering 6 month's worth of daily love quotes; now twuffer.com takes care of posting a tweet each day. I sit back and forget about it.

Besides twuffer.com, several other scheduled tweet services are available, such as FutureTweets.com. For others, search for "timed tweets" or "scheduled tweets" or "future tweets". Personally, I found twuffer.com to be the one with the simplest user interface and the easiest service to use.
