We talk a lot about Twitter here at BitchBuzz. We like Twitter, perhaps a bit too much. It’s convenient, versatile, and helps to inflate one’s sense of self importance. From Tweetie to texting to TwitterFox, there are tons of ways to update your account. But what about scheduling updates for the future?
The concept of scheduling tweets seems to kinda sorta go against the whole purpose of having a Twitter account. Tweets should be spur of the moment! They should be spontaneous thoughts and witticisms! They shouldn’t be scheduled like pap smears and therapy.
But sometimes it might be helpful to schedule tweets in the future. The major benefit being you don’t have to limit yourself to tweeting in the present. If you have a pressing deadline or a massive to do list, scheduling a tweet can help you get things under control.
