Fine Print

Yes, it sounds like a cute name for Paris Hilton’s latest accessory dog, but Twuffer is a service that lets you set up tweets to be sent at some time in the future. I dread to think of embargoed (still around?) press release tweets being loaded in like a shotgun to be scattered at 9 a.m. in the morning.

Or, maybe I could tweet that “hmmm, sales presentation is looking good, guy knows his stuff” knowing full well that I’m at home catching up on True Blood episodes.

I’m also curious about the privacy policy of how they use your Twitter username and password. I sent a tweet asking that question — the old-fashioned manual way of writing it and pressing Update – and will see what the response is.
