This post is a bit out of context here, since I have a big post on my use of Twitter in the works, but hey, I’m trying to write what comes to mind, so here goes.
I have more than one twitter account setup for my various niche marketing purposes. Ideally, I’d be monitoring all of the accounts, read the posts of the people that I’m following, do some searches to find new people to follow, write new tweets and generally interact with my twitter community. In reality, I don’t do any of those things on a regular basis. There are a number of tools out there, both free and paid that can some or all of the above for you. I’ve been experimenting with a few of them over the past few days and have decided to give TweetLater a few of my hard earned dollars to give their Pro version a try for a month.
So, what does TweetLater actually do? And specifically, what does the Pro version do that the Free version does not? Here’s a brief run-down:
- Manage all of your twitter accounts using one interface
- Delgate the managment of your twitter account(s)
- Schedule tweets to occur in the future
- Auto-follow and Auto-unfollow other Twitter users
- Vet new followers
- View all of your accounts and their live history in one interface
- There’s more, but that’s for later
The Pro version removes some limits on how many scheduled tweets you can create and also allows you to use the TweetCockpit which lets you see the timeline of all of your twitter accounts.
I’m still getting used to the interface for the TweetCockpit, which is quite cluttered, but slowly starting to make sense. One of the only drawbacks is that a lot of the functionality within the cockpit takes you to another web page, and then you have to wait for the cockpit to reload when you’re done with an action.
I also created a whole bunch of scheduled tweets for all of my accounts to be distributed over the next few days. The idea is that you can write a bunch of copy now, and then tell the system when to send them on your behalf. One of the big advantages here is that you get to increase the number of updates you send out without actually having to be sending tweets 24 hours a day.
This post is a bit thin on actual, usable content, but hey, it’s just my first day using the Pro version. An update will be forthcoming
