FreePlay Friday – TweetLater.Com and Why You Should Consider It
Posted on February 27th, 2009 in Cool Stuff, Entrepreneur, Faith, Technology by Fred McKinnon
Hello Everyone – welcome to “FreePlay Friday”.
Today, I want to talk about technology, specifically, Twitter, and more specifically, a third part service called TweetLater.Com. I have three primary twitter accounts at the moment that I manage:
@fmckinnon: personal tweets about me, life, family, church, music, leadership, worship, and a lot of @reply to friends and dialog
@theworshipcomm: co-managed by Russ Hutto, this is the twitter account for TheWorshipCommunity.Com. It’s mostly automated with announcements on new threads, replies, discussions, and articles at TheWorshipCommunity.Com, but we also post quick news, updates, etc. Russ has made it more fun by engaging directly with our followers with daily Q&A, polls, etc.
@ebusinessonline: a brand new account that will be the hub for a new forums-based/articles site I’m creating on e-business and e-commerce. I’m looking for a bunch of people who are interested in e-business and e-commerce to help launch these forums with relevant discussion. (I also need someone who can make a great design of the vbulletin skin, and who is gratis or VERY CHEAP). See http://www.e-businessonline.com
As I said, I’ve been using a service called TweetLater.Com. It’s been very effective for me in how it allows me to:
1. manage multiple accounts in one screen (with their premium service)
2. schedule tweets to post while I’m away (during the night, etc)
3. automate followeres (auto-follow, auto-unfollow, etc)
4. manage scheduled or automated DM’s (direct messages – I don’t recommend that one!)
5. Keyword Tracking
Keyboard Tracking is perhaps the biggest deal for me. I have TweetLater.Com setup to send me an email digest several times of day with any tweets using words like “worship pastor, worship leader, worship team, worship confessional”, etc. It’s helped me to find and network with followers who share my passion.
TweetLater.Com has both a free service and a professional service. For a limited time, the professional service is $19.97/month (no contract). I hope you’ll check out this service.
In the interest of integrity and transparency, I want to let you know that these links are affiliate links, and should you signup, I get paid. Yeah! Hey, that’s the entrepreneur in me. However, it’s just as important for me to say that I’m not just posting a spam affiliate post .. I believe in the product, and use it!
So go check it out – try the freebie version first, and if the professional version is right for you, then go for it!

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 – I had been reminded of this scripture recently that it is God’s will that we be “joyful always” and “give thanks in all circumstances”. I find that I do not do this near enough. God wants us to be joyful, I love to laugh,and joyfulness is a great medicine for all of us. So my Freeplay Friday contribution is that we read more of the 800 or more “happy texts”-(Pollyanna says) each day so that we may shine through a joyfulness “attitude” toward others we encounter on our difficult journeys we all face. Smile, and look up -so you may see more. Agape, RV
RV, man, that’s awesome, and beautiful. Enjoyed hearing you playing that percussion last night.
Just testing to see if the reply feature will notify me automatically of the new comment.
