I would like some way to submit twitter posts using a command line and to be able to actually schedule each line. Is there any site/utility/program that lets you do this?

In other words, I'd like to put together my 30 posts for the day and then - bam! - use a command line tool to schedule each one for the day.

Yes, I know there are many sites with a web GUI to do this such as tweet u later. But I'd like to be able to automate this quickly at the beginning of each day.

Is there such an animal?

    I use this site, Welcome to Buzzom Premium and can basically do everything I want from it. I have way more followers and I am able to schedule my tweets months in advance. I think it is $10/month but so worth it.

      I've used the free Buzzom site - it was pretty good of course. Anyway, I examinded the features in Premium and it seems good, but I have a question: I recently got suspended using a third party tool for followers.

      Since then I have automated everything else myself so that twitter can't tell how I do it.

      Does Buzzom actually send the follower api call? If so, then I would more than likely get suspended through them.

      If they can just provide a list of targeted followers for various criterion, then that may be worth it. But I MUST avoid getting suspended again...

        One other comment: I'd rather do it myself in order to have complete control over my tweets. Maybe that's not possible - I was just hoping someone had come up with a way to do this.

          You could build a nice command line utility in php fairly simply, or even C# or Java. The API is very easy to work with.

    OP...are you referring to when your blog post is made, it notifies your twitter account and posts a message stating that your blog has been updated? there's free plugins that do that already...

    or are you referring to pre-made messages you make and schedule them out at certain times of the day?

    If so, my Twitter Affiliate Script will do that in version two, when its' ready.

    you can do with curl pretty easy, the basic command is like this

    Code:
    curl -u uname:passw -d status="text" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

    from there you can script how you further script it with bash/php
