Top 5 Free Pre-Scheduling for Twitter Updates

Hey Warriors!

I just want to share these top 5 Free Pre-Scheduling for Tweeter Post. Please search them in Google because I won't provide any links

Twitter's very real-time functionality is obviously the main attraction of the service. But it can also be a downside -- if you want to send a tweet at a specific time, you usually have to be poised over a keyboard or phone.

So here are the top 5 free services to automate your tweet post.

1. Twuffer: Best For Minimalists

Twuffer (Twitter buffer, get it?) is a super-simple example of a Twitter post-dating service. Using your Twitter log-in info, you can set your timezone and select how you'd prefer the time and date to appear. Scheduling a tweet is easy -- just type what you're going to say into the box, set the time and date you want it to go live, and hit the "set status!" button.

Queued tweets can be viewed via a tab on the dashboard, but cannot be edited, so if you've made a mistake, it's a matter of deleting to start again. A record of tweets sent via the service is also viewable. Our scheduled tweet made it out the door as timed, so this simple solution gets a big thumbs up.




2. Later Bro: Best for Facebook Fans

In addition to Twitter, Later Bro also works with Facebook, and both options are offered right from the sign-in page. Once you've logged in with your Twitter account, you can change your timezone via the settings, enter your tweet, set the date and time (the latter of which is a little quirky) when you want it to go live, and hit the schedule button.

Scheduled tweets are listed below the main box, and can be edited, while sent tweets can be viewed. Another simple service that works well, Later Bro's amusing name and contemporary looks might give it an edge with a hipper crowd.




3. Twaitter: Best for International Reach

Twaitter (soon to be renamed "gremln" -- vowels cost more, don't you know) is actually a business-aimed Twitter client and scheduling platform, but for the purpose of this exercise, we're just focusing on the tweet-scheduling aspects.

Twaitter offers some advanced options, including a nifty built-in URL shortener. There's also the ability to translate your tweets, which, along with the drop-down timezone menu (included in the scheduler), makes this a great option for anyone indulging in some international Twitter action. Other highlights include the option to save drafts, copy tweets, and search and edit queued messages.




4. FutureTweets: Best for Anyone Up To No Good

Offering OpenID sign in (but no Twitter OAuth, for some reason), you have to validate your Twitter account before you can get going with FutureTweets. Once you're in, this service offers a few cunning tricks that might make it worthwhile.

There's an analog clock face to set the time of scheduled tweets (great for the numerically challenged among us), as well as some novelty options, like the ability to add icons to your tweet or flip the text backwards. Why you'd want to do any of those things is, of course, a matter for you to consider.

However, the really big selling point for FutureTweets over rivals is that you can choose for your update to appear as coming "via web," rather than from the service. If you are trying to make it appear as if you are tweeting live (for whatever dastardly reason), this feature is certainly handy.




5. tweetsqueue: Best for Chatterboxes

Currently in closed beta (with the option to ask nicely for an invite), tweetsqueue offers yet another take on scheduling tweets with, as the name might suggest, a queue-based solution.

This system could work really well as a way of jotting down thoughts and sharing links in a timely manner without spamming your followers with a ton of tweets all at once. It could also serve more creative uses, such as the dialogue or dramatic recreations and experiments we've seen in the past. After a Twitter sign-in, you simply select your timezone and the frequency at which you'd like your tweets to be issued (e.g, every 30 minutes). Then, start getting them queued up.

Although in beta, tweetsqueue worked perfectly for us, and we think with a bit of refinement in terms of timing options, it could really become a must-use tweet scheduling tool.



Happy Tweeting Warriors!
