Like it or not. Twitter has quickly transformed into a marketing tool. Bloggers use it to market their blogs, webmasters use it to market their websites, Movie stars use it to market their movies, Affiliates use it sell their stuff and there is no end to this list. So, even when you are busy, you just can’t afford to stop tweeting and go silent for a long time.

Good roundup, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of these types of applications and programs popping up as Twitter grows in popularity. Anyone have any input on which ones might work the best (if you used them)?

Great list! Tweetlater has a new name now and I don’t know about others, but they lost all my old tweets and still haven’t heard back from customer service.
Thanks for the info!

Hey, TweetLater is now called Socialoomph (http://www.socialoomph.com/)
Why? I have no idea. Liked the other name better. But hey, I’m just the messenger…

It has the most options and the best interface

Raju,
Great list thanks for sharing it. I will star using any one of them.

Great list – i love it.

Hi,
Great round-up !
I think you should also have a look at @justinvincent’s TweetMiner (www.tweetminer.com), it has the most comprehensive set of delaying options (especially the ability to schedule tweets evenly in time).

Hi Raju
Thanks for this cool list. I use Socialoumph and Twuffer. Socialoumpph is a very good free tool with excellent reactivity and you can do many tasks within the free tool. Twuffer is also fine but just to schedule tweets. Anyway, will go and check some of your suggestions. Thanks for your work.

A list but it needed more for me. What I needed extra was which operating system they all worked on. You did say one was on all platforms as it was Java based.
As a Linux user I am assuming you are like most Windows users and think there is no other operating system outside of that. (Though you might have heard of a Mac??)
I will have a look to see if I can use any of them.

Wao, great collections! I’ve created an ExpressionEngine(1.6.7+) module for this purpose – if you are using expressionengine cms, you can try that – check here – http://ow.ly/1vtZh

Really love http://laterbro.com for this. It’s simple and clean and does what it is supposed to do very well: scheduling tweets (from multiple twitter accounts) and facebook updates.
