It’s used to let others know what you’re doing, but it can also be used to communicate with people. It’s not really meant to be a chat between people so when there are excess amounts of @SOMEONE posts it becomes annoying fast.

This is the problem that I had. Working full time and being a father of two, I don’t get a lot of time to post to twitter and respond to others.

Usually I spend a few minutes going through the posts of the day and responding to others. But for others who follow me on twitter, this is annoying because once a day they see a bunch of @SOMEONE responses from me.

So one day I noticed that Caroline made a comment about wishing there was a way to schedule twitter posts. This is the same thing I wished for. That was enough to get me motivated to develop this service.

Less than 48 hours later… TwitResponse was born.

TwitResponse allows you schedule posts for the future. Similar to an autoresponder that lets you pre-write email messages to be sent out a specific intervals, TwitResponse will let you pre-write twitter posts.

This is very easy to setup and the data is automatically added to the spreadsheet!!! How awesome is that.

Under the Share this document section there’s a new option labeled as “to fill out a form”.

Now you’re done! The form is automatically linked to the spreadsheet that you created earlier. You can start inviting people to fill out the form or post the link directly to the form itself. Here’s the link to my example.

Once people start filling out the form, the information is automatically populated in the spreadsheet. You can then begin to work with this data.

Pretty cool isn’t it?
