Are more tweets better? I've been thinking more and more that quality is better than quantity. Still, nothing beats an old fashioned handshake and the simple twitter status update within the "old skool" twitter app is why twitter didn't build a tweet deck or a hoot suite to begin with. You'll see, this app'll get abused like every app eventually does and it'll soon look like MySpace. Use it while the world abuses it and we'll be back to good handshakes and white milk in no time at all. Are more followers better? Are more tweets better?

I love hoot suite in general and have found that scheduling is the only way I can get my tweets posted during the day right now because I'm not available to be with my cell or computer. I think Mike Sansone's take on it is fine - if it's something that is a resource it seems acceptable to me. BUT I don't really enjoy doing it this way. It eliminates the ability to engage in conversations with people because if they comment on my tweet it seems jarring to reply 8 hours later. I also feel like a "bot". It would be weird if I scheduled things that were conversational but even with links to my posts it still is less than ideal. But tweeting has been a key way to drive traffic to my site so I'm still doing it this way. I have a love/hate relationship with scheduling tweets.

I like to schedule mine for early in the morning....like 5 or something so people might think "wow...she really gets after it...tweeting before the sun rises?! that's dedication" it's all an illusion I'm happy to play with.

But, to your point, I could Tweet the link to my Blog at hours that I currently do not use and potentially gain readers...so it makes complete sense. I am leary though, because of your first 'devils advocate' point about authenticism or if people over-use the concept and Tweet every hour on the hour about the same thing.

For those where you @ someone, I believe one should do it when they are awake. :-) Josh, With my crazy schedule I have at times, I may be tweeting in real life at 3 am in the morning. :-) I like what Mike has to say on this matter though in scheduling tweets where you share information or links.
