Excellent post Nancy!!! Thank you so much for being specific about the do's and dont's with TweetLater and giving some best practices with this service. Now if I can just get some of my Tweet-loving friends not use Twitter like their fav Instant Messaging (IM) service, I will be a happy camper! Again THANK YOU!

@Share thanks for reminding people to keep auto-follow replies PRIVATE, I've seen some tweeps clog the twitter stream with too many "thanks for following" tweets

@Peggy Really smart response! I look at Twitter as a relationship building tool and one of the greatest learning labs around to watch trends, behaviors, etc. Amen sistah!

Thanks for this interesting post Nancy. I see tweetlater as a great tool for allowing us to manage our time and visibility in building out relationships acros social networking rather than another weapon in an arsenal of sales tools. It seems whereas you could choose to automatically follow or not (which seems kind of fair to me), now you have to auto follow..is that right?
I would love to see some more info from you about successfully tweeting..ie tweets that really start a conversation....do you have any previous posts on this?
Thanks again
Sam

I'm being followed by so many people these days, it's almost a given that I will unfollow someone who spams me with a tweetlater "thanks for following me" DM. Just about everyone using them is promoting themselves. You might be surprised to hear that as a marketer I'm not using Twitter to be marketed to. I'm using Twitter for news, ideas, information, engaging with others, and even entertainment. I don't mind if you Tweet about your product over time. Please do it as part of a whole picture -- otherwise you appear as a one note song.

Nice piece on Tweetlater. The tech world is changing so fast it's hard to keep up. It's articles like this that are fast and to the point that make it easier.

I do use Tweetlater and haven't used it for auto-posting but I do use the autoreply feature (now privately) and with no linkage! It has been helpful and I've had lots of tweets back about the nice thank you message. Very encouraging!

Social networking feels like a gravel road in the making. But it is getting paved quickly!

Hi Nancy,

I'm the owner of TweetLater.com

Thank you for your great post and good advice.

I've now added further advice to the Twitter account add and edit pages, to try and convince folks not to do self-promotion with the welcome tweets. Some will listen, some won't. That's life. :)

Best regards,

Dewald Pretorius

The hard part is knowing when to say when. No matter how many times I tell people to NOT to do heavy duty pitches, they still do it. I've done my part, which is emphasizing relationship building and quality. I can't force everyone to listen, but I can keep the message rolling!

Just a note: You can't use TweetLater for an @reply. So if it's a birthday greeting, You have to put something like "Happy Birthday @yourname" Instead of "@YourName Happy Birthday".

Great post! I have yet to use Tweetlater because I saw it so impersonal, and kind of still do.

The only thing about a post dated tweet for me is, I like to be around at the PC or via the iPhone to respond to a Tweet that I send. However, I think there are certain types of tweets that may be OK to post date.

I do like the idea of the Happy Birthday scheduling though.

I may have to give Tweetlater a second chance, as I agree sending a message to everyone who follows is time consuming... especially when only 10% actually respond back to the DM I sent.

Good article, Nancy. I haven't used Tweetlater yet, but plan to. Social networking is all about taking it slow, isn't it? I just posted my first event on Facebook and wonder how that will work. Any word of wisdom there?

Great advice! I get so many messages that @breagrant should be using tweetlater or a service that automatically updates twitter w/ her wordpress posts. I disagree, I think the less automation the better and the tips you've suggested make the messages look natural.
