I like sharing good seo and content marketing articles that I find on the net and only very occasionally do I tweet my own articles. Even so, I do my reading in the morning over a cup of coffee and tweet as I go. Before I used to use timely.is so as not to send a splatterbast of tweets in a short period. Now with the new autoscheduling feature of Hootsuite it is even easier.

I have too many other things to do than to glue myself to a keyboard and watch Twitter like a square-eyed hawk. That said, when I do delve Ito social media I want to feel like I’m talking to a human being. If that human being is scheduling human posts that’s fine by me. But if that spammer fills an automation app with posts about their products and then blasts them out every hour then I’ll just stop listening.
