Schedule Your Tweets

SocialOomph (www.socialoomph.com/)
This application is a scheduler on steroids. It will not only schedule your tweets, LinkedIn updates, and Facebook posts, but will also track keywords for you, email a daily digest of your retweets and mentions, purge your inbox of direct messages, and track your clicks, find new followers for you and allow you to color code incoming messages.
TweetPocket (www.tweetpocket.com/) frances@act-comms.com www.act-comms.com Twitter @CaballoFrances
Unlike the other scheduling applications, this one won’t take up your entire desktop. Instead, it will position itself in a corner of your monitor. TweetPocket will post new tweets and allow you to view new messages, replies, and direct messages right from your desktop.
