Talking scheduling tweets with @unmarketing

Posted by James Howe on May 16, 2012 in Twitter
  1. I’ve always been a disciple of Scott Stratten, better known as Unmarketing on Twitter, when it comes to my personal approach to social media-especially Twitter. Until recently that included never scheduling tweets. But having given it some more thought I believe I found some reasons why scheduling tweets can be acceptable-especially if the vast majority of your tweets are typed just before you hit send.
    So I wondered what Unmarketing thought of my approach. I hadn’t heard him recently on the topic and so I thought there may be a chance that he his position had similarly changed. What follows is a Twitter conversation that we had on the topic.
    I hope Scott is fine with me sharing our conversation more widely. I would think so. He’s proclaimed himself the King of Twitter and I aspire to being the Unmarketing of Storify! ; )

    No exceptions? RT @unmarketing: @Communic8nHowe don’t agree. Be here, be social. Unless Twitter is used to just broadcast. It isn’t…

    @Communic8nHowe don’t agree. Be here, be social. Unless Twitter is used to just broadcast. It isn’t about views.

    @unmarketing Did you read my post where I ninety % agree with you but allow understandable exceptions to scheduling tweets?

    @unmarketing Thanks for confirming and for stopping by. I had hoped your position on scheduling tweets had evolved a bit.

    @Communic8nHowe it has evolved. I’m against them even more than I was before :)

    @Communic8nHowe just gettin tired of the debate about it. People can do whatever they want. Automate a tweet every 4 mins.

    @unmarketing That’s why I’m trying to find a middle ground. I’d never recommend a “set it and forget it” approach to Twitter

    @Communic8nHowe instead of 3 auto-tweets on a Sunday, why not 30. You’ll get even more clicks.

    @unmarketing I’m sure that’s true but I’m more interested in quality and being genuine while still considering my audience

  14. I’m just glad that I didn’t schedule that first tweet or we never would have had a live conversation about it!
