Twuffer lets you schedule tweets (messages on Twitter, don't cha know) for a predefined time of your choosing. Twitters main idealogy was the “What are you doing now?” question; so a scheduler sort of flies in the face of that. Yet it's clear Twitter is now being used by organisations as a general purpose broadcast medium and Twuffer suggests some of it's own uses:
- tweet hourly/daily/monthly announcements
- appointment/milestone reminders
- run a time-based scavenger hunt
- notify subscribers about upcoming podcast or video episodes
- appear to never sleep
