Auto Tweet

Posts Tagged ‘Hootsuite’

With automated tools like tweet adder, you can easily schedule your twitter tweets. This is just one of the many time saving features that these robotic type programs possess that make them pay off very quickly.

By putting some tweets on a schedule, you can maintain an aura of activity with your twitter account even when you are on vacation or dealing with other matters. The convinience factor of even ‘canned’ tweets is enormous.

You can set tweets to be tweeted an a set time schedule of every three hours or what ever time factor you determine. Or better yet, simply set them up to be tweeted on a random schedule of say 63 minutes to 188 minutes. With a random time delay schedule your profile will surely appear to have normal activity. This is especially true if you write your tweets properly.

You can write your tweets to tell a story and show a progression of events or updates on special deals and any number of variations. The key is to make them appear natural, real and fitting to the time flow.

With tweet adder you can also limit the number of posts per day. This can be helpful if you load up your program every day. Then you can set up your schedule to start when you normally log in and then post tweets within your randon time delay with your desired maximum per day.

Your tweets can also include symbols which are very easy to add to the tweet from the symbol icon. Another nice option is the ability to keep all of your tweets and cycle through them again. This means that if you start with enough tweets in the beginning that you will never have to write another tweet for that profile again.

To help you creating tweets, tweet adder also has a tweet writer feature that will spin your basic tweet into many variations. You can also import tweets from any text file. These options make it much more simple to set up tweet adder once as a ‘set and forget’ program.

Also, if you create your tweets manually with a speadsheet you can easily cut and past one or two words to make slight changes on the tweets. You can create hundreds of them quickly. Then it is a simple matter to copy them into a text file and import them into tweet adder. With tweet adder you can just click the randomize icon and your prewritten tweets will be mixed up in a random fashion,

With all of these features and options it is a simple matter to have your twitter profile tweet on auto pilot indefinitely.

Other services like social oomph, tweet attack and hootsuite also let you schedule your tweets, but I prefer the ease, simplictiy and options that you get with tweet adder

HootSuite used to be a good place to get a free ‘twitter suite’ manager. You could load up lots of twitter profiles and mange them all from a single account. While it is still free, you do not get much unless you upgrade to the pro version.

With the pro version you can add unlimited twitter profiles to your account. The best part is that you can create one tweet and schedule it to be sent to ALL of the profiles. Now you do not want to get carried away with because twitter would recognize this eventually and suspended all the accounts.

But if you use this judiciously, it is a great way to send out very important messages. It is especially a good feature if you have dozens of accounts with 2000 followers each. Since it is so much easier to get 20 account with 2000 followers than it is to get one account with 40,000 followers, hootsuite gives you the ability to tweet to 40k followers with a few simple clicks.

Tip: Sell a tweet to someone else to recoup the monthly cost and use it for yourself for free the rest of the month. You can also sign up for free and get the upgrade pro version for free ofr the first 30 days.

Hootsuite and ping.fm are my duo secret weapon number 3.

I actually found pingfm first. As I was busy adding all my social network accounts to pingfm I saw their Hootsuite link. I was literally thrilled to found this combination. Not only did I marvel at the cabability of ping, I was positively awed by the possibilities of using them together.

First of all - with a single post in pingfm, the post will simultaneously be sent to major social networks like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, LinkedIn, Last.fm, Digg, Classmates.com, Friendster, hi5, Stumble Upon, OkCupid, Match.com, 43 Things, Bebo, Plaxo myYearbook, wayn.com, Yahoo Personals, Orkut, Tagged.com, Reunion.com, Plurk, Ning, Pogo.com, Shelfari, fubar, Adult Friend Finder, Plenty of Fish.com, Xanga, Plaxo Pulse, PalTalk, Friends Reunited, Multiply.com, tumblr.com, Ping.fm, Fitness Singles.com, Pix.ie, mycountryspace, BlackPlanet, mylife.com, ZooLoo, craftynation, Essembly, Chatterbox, schülervz, www.youjustgetme.com, beglobal, MiGente, who remembers me and small worlds.

If that was all there was to pingfm I would be thoroughly thrilled. But here is the second killer feature. You can send your post to pingfm from Hootsuite.

Why is that a big deal you ask? Hootsuite will list all of your twitter profiles and allow you to easily make a tweet simultaneously from one or all of profiles. You can also schedule those tweets for anytime. Plus, you get other screens that show retweets made from any of your profiles tweet – allowing you to retweets or direct message those other people from one or all of profiles.

Hootsuite also contains much more like an auto RSS feed from your blog  (or dare we say it, all of your blogs or anyones blog or RSS feed)!
