This article is part three of a four part series on Twitter Tools Unleashed. If you would like to follow along start here with part one of the series Twitter Tools Unleashed.
In part three of Twitter Tools Unleashed I’m going to discuss TweetLater. TweetLater.com is a group of “Productivity Tools For Busy Tweeple“ as stated on it’s website. TweetLater joins the pack of Twitter Tools that allows users to take advantage of some features found in other Twitter Tools plus more.
When you add your Twitter account TweetLater allows you to set up an Auto Welcome message which is similar to the Auto Reply feature found in TweetManager. This Auto Welcome message is sent as a direct message to the individual who is following you. TweetLater recommends to send a pleasant welcome message and thanks for following you. It should not be sent as a ”buy my stuff“ message as it is really a turn off to people just getting to know you.
You can set up Auto Follow to automatically follow users who follow you. Another TweetLater feature allows you to Auto Unfollow users that choose to un-follow you. After you set this up TweetLater will look to see if anyone has chosen to un-follow you up to 10 users at a time.
There is a feature to Manually Vet New Followers. This feature allows you to approve or disapprove of new follows. If this feature is not enabled the Auto Follow and Auto Welcome features will process automatically as new Followers join you.
TweetLater has a digest feature that will send you an email with a list of up to 100 new replies received on your Twitter account. If you find yourself too busy to read your twitter replies, this feature condenses them into a digest email.
You can configure the interval that the digest will be mailed to you. In addition you can set up keywords that TweetLater will track in the public Twitter stream. This feature allows you to see what is on the mind of Twitter users based on your search criteria. It also includes a digest sent to your email address.
One of the main features of TweetLater allows you to set up tweets to be posted at a later time. This allows your followers to get tweets through out the day rather than all at once. It also allows you to schedule tweets for international followers who may be sleeping while you’re posting your tweets during the daytime.
The final feature of TweetLater is a very unique feature in that it let’s you create an RSS Feed with either direct tweets or scheduled tweets. Your published tweets don’t go to Twitter they go to your own personal tweet stream, which is available in RSS, XML and Javascript formats. This allows you to include the stream on your Blog or other web 2.0 site.
Currently the only feature I am using now is the un-follow feature as I’m using similar features with other Twitter Tools. I’m looking to the future when I will creating my own tweet stream.
