Buffer, already one of my favorite marketing tools, just got even better. In addition to being able to schedule your tweets, you can now also easily add retweets to your queue to be shared in your Twitter stream.
Scheduling your retweets is very easy, and will allow for a more efficient use of your time, a more consistent engagement with others, and a better flow of information to your followers.
To Schedule Retweets from the Web
You’ll need to add the Buffer Browser Extension (very quick and easy).
Now, whenever you find great content on the web that you want to retweet, click on the buffer icon on your dashboard, select the account(s) you want to share it from, and “Buffer” – the article will be entered into your Buffer schedule.
To Schedule Retweets from Twitter
You can hover over the tweet to change its format or to add a comment.
To Schedule Retweets from your Mobile Device
To set up Buffer Retweets for you mobile device, you will need to request a secret Buffer email address – very easy and fast – auto generated upon request.
Use the Buffer Android or iPhone app to “save” your secret address and it will be added to your contact list as “Buffer”.
When you find content that you want to share on your favorite client, click “Mail Tweet” to email the Tweet to your secret email address and it will be schedule to be published.
If you’re not already using Buffer, I would highly recommend you check it out and let me know what you think! If you are, how do you plan to use the new retweet option?
As always your comments and questions are welcomed and appreciated!

The first thing that will be obvious from this article is that I’m not a computer programmer – I “speak” just enough html to change title tags, and to otherwise get myself in trouble.
