My favourite option is Su.pr from StumbleUpon. I had reviewed it couple of weeks back on my blog. It even shows a graph and suggets the best time for posting your tweets. And the best part is its integration with SU and the option to promote your other blog posts.
All this is good but one should respect the twitter API limits and use these features judiciously. Your account may be termed as spwitt (read: spam twitter) in case you use these services very frequently

Now if only TweetDeck would jump on board and allow future tweets, we’d be all set!
A lot more listed on Twitdom at http://twitdom.com/tag/schedule-posts/
I would add to your list Hootsuite.com that lets you schedule tweets to be sent in the future. It also incorporates tracking so you can see how many people open any links you sent. One of my favorites.
Above alll the service I’m using tweetlater and it;s one of the easy and best tool I have for making my twitter account automatic….
Thanks for the list, some are new to me. I am going to check them out. But want to drop a line and thank you for putting the review for them up here.

I have been using tweetdeck, twit robot and twitter feed for my tweets at http://www.twitter.com/4Armonia
I’ve tested only one app so far, Future Tweets, and right now, it’s not functioning properly. It looks like others are having problems via their site as well. At times I would rather pay for a service (minimally, of course) and get the fixes in a timely manner. Would love to get feedback from you on what works/doesn’t work.
Future Tweets does not have secure login (https) = #FAIL
You failed to mention the best scheduler (by far) Twaitter. That’s what I use.
http://www.twaitter.com
Rachael I agree with you completely. Twaitter is by far the best tool for scheduling tweets. I’ve tried all the ones mentioned in this article. I’m sure Keith would have mentioned it if he had seen it. He should revise the article with a comparison.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m going to check out Twaiter. This is just what I’ve been looking for.
I’m looking for a service that will allow me to save draft tweets without scheduling them for a future date. I know Socialoomph.com (formerly TweetLater) does it, but I don’t like the interface and was hoping one of these others did it as well. Does anyone know?
@Jeanne I need to lookup and see if I can find a service like that, will let you know about it once I find it
HootSuite allows you to save drafts without scheduling a Tweet.
I wouldn’t recommend Hootsuite, ive been using it for 3 years and are now looking for a new dashboard, its become unstable with its recent software upgrades – eg it doesn’t collect our data past 7 days any more, and speaking to the helpdesk is like dealing with an empty warehouse.
Its fine while it works.
The links for TwitRobot and TwitMessenger don't work.
Twuffer looks simple to use, but nothing special.
TwitResponse looks simple enough to use too but does not offer enough features.
I didn't bother trying TweetLater which got bought out by SocialOomph and now is part of something that needs to be paid for if you want all the features.
I tried out Twaitter per one of the other commenter's recommendation, which looks great and even better when the recurring feature is turned back on.
Nice…I was looking for this app.
Wow, great applactions. I love twuffer.
laterbro.com looks pretty good as well.
(haven't tried it though)
Thanks for this article. Twuffer was exactly what I needed. I to hope that Tweetdeck implements this feature soon.
Which one of these can I schedule the same tweet to be tweeted EVERY few hours??
Thanks for the suggestions. Apparently FutureTweets can no longer offer recurring tweets since it violates Twitter's TOS. Just thought I'd share that with y'all.
Nice list, in your comments too – but i miss my favorit -> hootsuite.com
My best pick for scheduling tweets is http://laterbro.com Slick and simple UI
Twuffer has a serious problem with some characters. It makes it almost unusable if you don't tweet in english.
I've posted a support ticket about this, but they don't seem to fix this.
Too bad because it's a really cool and simple service…
I liked AutoTweeter the best. They also give AutoFollower tool too. Customer support from them is great.The tool is worth the money and it works !! , some of the tools listed here do not work anymore,so I opted AutoTweeter,the best thing is that , it shows "tweeted from web" and not like "tweeted from hootsuite" etc.. which makes people think that you are using some automated tool.Thanks a lot for the listing Keith.
The one I am using now is Pluggio. pluggio.com It’s still free (currently) and is more compact than most. It allows tweet scheduling and has plenty of great features. Lots of short videos to explain clearly what it does. I have several twitter accounts that are quite demanding ( eg @magillamax ) and it manages multiple twitter account nicely. Excellent interface.
I use tweetlater which I find easy to use and works every time. It’s a very helpful application. I didn’t know of the others, I will have to look into each one.
