Schedule Your Tweets with FutureTweets

Justin Germino
I did a previous review on a similar tool called Twuffer, which allows you to post date your twitter tweets, butFutureTweets has some additional features which make it better in some ways.

FutureTweets is a web site that you can write custom twitter messages and schedule them to be delivered at a later date and time, some features it has that Twuffer does not include:

  • Automatic re-occurance of tweets
You can set some tweets to broadcast daily, weekly, monthly or even annually. Twuffer has no reoccurance at all.
  • Editing already scheduled tweets
Twuffer only gives you the ability to delete a scheduled tweet, but FutureTweets allows you to edit a scheduled
tweet in case you want to alter it.
  • Set Exact Minute
Twuffer lets you set a specific hour only, like 7am, 11am...etc, but FutureTweets will let you pick the exact minute you want to tweet, so if you want to tweet something in 10 minute intervals, you can schedule it with FutureTweets but not Twuffer.

Twuffer has a slightly easier to use interface than FutureTweets in my opinion and has the advantage of using your Twitter account to login, instead of having to have yet another separate account which you have to create on FutureTweets.

  • Summary

Both products need to have a URL Compression service as part of scheduling tweets, they should have URL compression box right next to your schedule tweet window, so you can easily shrink URL's prior to inserting them into your scheduled message.

Overall, I highly recommend FutureTweets and think it has more features and functionality than Twuffer which was the previous tool I recommended. The ability to set reoccuring tweets is a huge plus for companies and businesses.

    Scheduling tweets is important if you are taking a vacation where you won't be bringing a computer, it allows you to not leave your account idle. You also can get a few extra "hey" check out my articles out of it, when you schedule some tweets for older article links.

    I'm kind of old-fashioned about my Tweeting and prefer to manually post. Guess even Tweeters can be Luddites!
