I’m pretty new to twitter and don’t really take the time to develop my own account but I have a client that wants to put up a “thought of the day”. For this scheduled tweets would be perfect (any suggestions for how to do that would be helpful) as long as you are also making other tweets and re-tweets to build a relationship with your followers throughout the day as well.

I’m not a fan of scheduled tweets. It just has a “spammy” feel to it. Tweets are spontaneous thoughts (99% of which are irrelevant to everyone but the tweeter) or bits of wisdom, or news of immediate importance (i.e. the mid-east situations). Personally, I rarely use Twitter. And I rarely read anything on it. It can be a huge distraction from getting real work done. I a big fan of the old fashioned telephone conversation.

i like to tweet a lot. usually i’m posting enteries that tell the world about my client’s businesses, they usually are pre-set for example i know what events that coming up that month so i tweet accordingly. Sometimes my followers show interest and ask about a thing of two. But awareness is the prime factor that i go for in the AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action) principle.

how do you automate your tweets? the concept looks interesting esp when you have to promote a business or a client. though ive always felt that tweeting is like someone’s single sided babble.

Personally I have several twitter accounts and I use them based on what my motive is for the particular account.

I’ll set up automated tweets when I’m simply trying to simply lead people to a particular website.

For my personal account however I like to be on when I tweet in case someone wants to interact with me at the same time. If you do go the automation route however then you definitely have to know how to work it so that people don’t mass unfollow you for posting tweetspam.

Well I’m all for having an open mind and always willing to improve, so I will definitely make more of an effort to add my voice to the twitter stream – now that I know that there’s one more person who cares it’ll definitely be worth the effort.
I’m making no promises to stop scheduling tweets, though :) Sorry!
Thanks for all of your awesome input today – thanks for getting my brain muscles pumping!

True — Twitter makes it challenging to write much, but I guess I mean commentary in the general sense; about what’s going on in life.

I think there needs to be a balance of some sort between it all — personal reflections, rants, valuable content, and questions.

Personally, I enjoy your inspirational quotes and original tweets way more than the links to other content — partly because I’m interested in getting to know your voice and what you’re all about and partly because I’m interested in your work more than the work of 15 other bloggers.

I have a feeling a few posts throughout the day pointing followers to cool content will prove to be more powerful than 15 posts to other blogs — less is more in a way, you know?

To each their own, but I’m just saying as your reader, I’d love to see more casual tweets about what’s going on day to day — If other readers are like me, they’re interested in how you manage to post every day despite the challenges we all face, what pet peeves you have, where your inspiration for a post comes from, etc.

When it comes to personal twitter accounts like yours and mine (@christopherR2D2), I just think people are expecting more than what a business account my tweet — all work and no play.

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind if someone hogged my stream with their personal tweets, while I probably would mind if their tweets were merely links to content I don’t really care about at the moment.

There’s definitely value in providing links to cool content, but I feel like that’s what Digg or Delicious is for — Twitter is about voice.

Your voice.

Great post and discussion — I look forward to everyone’s future tweets!

I just started scheduling tweets and I haven’t got a definitive opinion one way or another yet. I am with you on replying to tweets, etc. That is what makes social media social! :)

Now commentary is definitely a place where I can improve, yet I quickly grow tired of trying to fit something meaningful in such a small space – and in my opinion, “great read” is just about as useful as not saying anything at all. I actually don’t mind – actually to be honest, I prefer to see more links – it exposes me to more content. Once I get there, I can make my decision whether it’s worth retweeting or not.
I also enjoy inspirational sayings, but they don’t have as lasting of an effect as a link to a great blog that I could subscribe to.
But I guess we all have our own tweeting styles and habits and that’s excellent because it creates an awesome variety to choose from.

Automated Tweets is the way to go for sure. I don’t want to annoy my followers on Twitter and this is the perfect way to go. Do you use socialoomph?
