- How familiar are you with the @buffer?
Buffer tends to be a favorite with many people. Even if it is not the main tool, many people use it in conjunction with other tools. It is soooo versatile. And, the customer service? I dare say, second to none! Yay, Buffer!
A1 I use @buffer mostly through other 3rd party apps ... and love it! #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 30, 2014 | A1. @buffer is one of our favorite hidden gems :) we use it on here, for @YourLifeAfter25 and @PocketSousChef! #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) April 30, 2014 |
- How do you use @buffer? If you don’t use it, what would you like to know about it?
A common theme, with many tools, is sitting down and using the tool in one sitting and spreading it out over time. I love using Buffer and Viral Content Bee (formerly Viral Content Buzz) together. There are sooooo many great articles to share in VCB but I don’t want to send out 100 at a time. That is where Buffer does the heavy lifting for me :)
A2. We have quite a few giveaways going on @YourLifeAfter25 right now, I schedule tweets in Buffer to remind followers #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) April 30, 2014 | A2 I use it in @viralcontentbuz and @commun_it #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 30, 2014 |
- What are some ideas for using @buffer to help you be more productive (i.e. automated)?
Again, Buffer keeps us organized ... and without breaking a sweat, eh?
A3 #SocialCafe Schedule posts on Monday to get the week started off right/get better organized @buffer— Brianna Vela-Garcia (@BriannaHCISD) April 30, 2014 | A3 Put a more proactive effort to scheduling posts #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 30, 2014 |
- If you decide to use @buffer, how do you think you will use the tool?
Thanks, Pam, for RTing Katie’s tweet and yet another endorsement of scheduling those tweets!
RT @KatieSpurgin A4 Definitely with Twitter: scheduling tweets because I'm always rushing to get some posted #socialcafe— Pam (@PinkMama68) April 30, 2014 | A4: Well, I didn't know there was an option to use @buffer to share old posts, so that is something I'd be interested to try #socialcafe— Marisa (@MoppetMissy) April 30, 2014 |
Final Thoughts and Action Steps
I think the idea of Buffer saving us time is definitely a thought worth driving home during this chat, eh? Oh, and Ann Smarty, founder of VCB says “hi” with her RT the next morning. Thanks, Ann, for your wonderful VCB web app! :)
Quotable! RT @KatieSpurgin: @socialwebcafe @buffer exactly! There isn't enough time in the day | RT @socialwebcafe: A2 I use it in @viralcontentbuz and @commun_it #SocialCafe #TBW— Ann Smarty (@seosmarty) April 30, 2014 |

About this Topic/Event
Buffer is an indispensable tool that some of us may be using without even noticing it. For example, there are many services, like Commun.it and Viral Content Bee that use it as a part of their service, to allow you to create tweets and schedule (buffer) them for later.
Learn how others are using Buffer, right from the Buffer web site and you can come up with some creative ways to become more productive on your social sites!
