tweet. It allows you to simply
schedule your tweets to be spread
throughout the day so you don’t go

inundate your followers with 20
tweets within an hour. You can also
get great analytics on your tweets
which will help determine what your
audience loves, or doesn’t, out of the
content you share as well as the
times of day you get the most
action on your tweets.
