Twuffer: schedule your Twitter posts
Twuffer is a site that lets you keep a buffer of Twitter posts that will go up at times you schedule. Twitter plus buffer equals Twuffer, get it? In theory, this is a pretty good idea if you're someone who needs to make periodic announcements or post reminders at intervals. The thing is, I don't think the majority of Twitter users could do that without being annoying.Twitter is starting to become more mainstream now, but the biggest complaint people have about companies and celebrities starting to use the service is that they come of as inhuman. Pre-writing your tweets only makes you seem more mechanical. Twuffer could be excellent if you use it on an account that only you follow, to post reminders to yourself. There are already services that do this, but Twuffer might be faster to set up.
I could be completely underestimating this service, though. The site suggests a few ways to use Twuffer, but if you have an idea about how it could be effective on someone's main account, let me know in the comments.

To be honest, I'm not sure about the utility of being able to schedule Twitter posts given Twitter is such a dynamic and fluid communications tool. I guess it's maybe something corporate users might find useful but that's about it.

I actually think might be useful. I keep twhirl visible on my desktop all day, and I'm sadly almost always late for just about everything, which seems like it may end up being the profile of a twuffer user.
