Apparently, the popular micro-blogging platform Twitter is lack of a sort of scheduler that allowed its users to schedule the tweets. Perhaps the tweeters don’t need a scheduler, as opposed to the post scheduling feature that had long been established as a standard in most of the blogging platforms such as WordPress or TypePad, as Twitter’s main use is about posting tweets about “What are you doing?”, instead of “What will you do?”
However, there’s still a need in the Twitterverse for this kind of tweet scheduling feature and Twuffer has came into the limelight. Twuffer is a newly launched service that allow users to schedule their tweets. On the Twuffer site, Twitter users simply need to enter their credentials, and start to use the tweet scheduling tools found on the dashboard.
If you’re a Twitter user, you can type your tweet, and beneath the tweet type box, you can schedule the tweet for a time in the future by choosing the date, month and year as well as a specific time in a pull-down box in the “When to tweet” column. After you finish scheduled the tweet, simply click on the “set status!” button, and it’s all done. And all the scheduled tweets will be shown on the queued tweets page. Meanwhile, any queued tweet that sent will be appeared on sent tweets page. However, for the scheduled tweet, you either can delete it or re-type a new tweet if you find the schedule time was wrong, as you are not allowed to re-schedule the tweet for the second time.
Overall, Twuffer is especially useful for the tweeters who are frequently tweet announcements, reminders, or to create an illusion that they never sleep and working 24X7 on the Web.
