Dynamic Tweets: Simply Not Enough Features

I was always on the lookout for a new twitter service that may provide some benefit that I am not already getting with HootSuite or Tweetdeck, so I decided to try DynamicTweets. This service allows you to supposedly schedule tweets at intervals (20 for the free version). After logging in and testing the service, none of my tweets ever kicked off, and my account was in pending for many hours, no email was generated to activate the account and I just gave up trying to get the service to work.

At this time, I don’t know if the site is still even up or running, but I would avoid DynamicTweets and use something like TwitRobot to schedule tweets to run automatically in a bot like fashion.

Schedule Your Tweets with FutureTweets

I did a previous review on a similar tool called Twuffer, which allows you to post date your twitter tweets, but FutureTweets has some additional features which make it better in some ways.

FutureTweets is a web site that you can write custom twitter messages and schedule them to be delivered at a later date and time, some features it has that Twuffer does not include:

  • Automatic re-occurance of tweets

You can set some tweets to broadcast daily, weekly, monthly or even annually. Twuffer has no reoccurance at all.

  • Editing already scheduled tweets

Twuffer only gives you the ability to delete a scheduled tweet, but FutureTweets allows you to edit a scheduled tweet in case you want to alter it.

  • Set Exact Minute

Twuffer lets you set a specific hour only, like 7am, 11am…etc, but FutureTweets will let you pick the exact minute you want to tweet, so if you want to tweet something in 10 minute intervals, you can schedule it with FutureTweets but not Twuffer.

Twuffer has a slightly easier to use interface than FutureTweets in my opinion and has the advantage of using your Twitter account to login, instead of having to have yet another separate account which you have to create on FutureTweets.

  • Summary

Both products need to have a URL Compression service as part of scheduling tweets, they should have URL compression box right next to your schedule tweet window, so you can easily shrink URL’s prior to inserting them into your scheduled message.

Overall, I highly recommend FutureTweets and think it has more features and functionality than Twuffer which was the previous tool I recommended. The ability to set reoccuring tweets is a huge plus for companies and businesses.
