Twitter followers can be fickle, dropping you for no more than a few hours inactivity. Which is problem for people who have to sleep. It’s a problem that’s solved by TweetLater.
Regular activity can be important on Twitter, and TweetLater lets you schedule tweets to be sent out at scheduled times. Very simple to sign up and log in, and the interface is a breeze. It’s a one trick pony, just schedule future dated tweets, but it’s a handy trick.
There are an increasing number of Twitter related apps and tools out there but this is one of the best ones that I’ve seen for simplicity and functionality. Not only does it keep your Twitter account ticking over regularly, it can also be helpful when you have a lot of different topics on your mind but don’t want to spam your followers with numerous topics in the space of ten minutes.

That is an interesting tools for Twitter.
Hey Robin:
I was wondering why I have never heard about free blog platform that runs on ASP.NET. Ah. Now I see that you use Blogger.
Have you ever thought about using WordPress on your Windows Server?
I like your clean blog, but I would love to see some colorful banners. :-)
I am a visual person. I sometimes click on the banners to give the author some juice though.

Hi Terence. Thanks for the comments and apologies for the delayed reply.
Certainly WordPress is something that I’m increasingly leaning towards. Though I think the incorporation of the PHP basis of WP with the asp.NET of the site might be interesting.
While I’m pleased with the extent to which I’ve skinned the Blogger based blog, the commenting is probably the biggest issue I have with the platform. And unfortunately the likes of Disqus which might provide an alternative option aren’t set up to work with Blogger blogs hosted externally.
On the incorporation of more colour, I guess that’s largely personal preference. Deliberately went for a very minimalist style, although I’m pleased with what I think is quite a strong and memorable logo. Although I always have a “playing around” version of the site which I use to mess around with different design options, so I’ll have a look at some more colourful options.
Cheers
Robin
