Tweet Wheel is a simple and yet powerful tool that every blogger will fall in love with. The idea behind Tweet Wheel is to automatically tweet posts from user's blog and take the burden off bloggers' shoulders and let them focus on the thing they are best at - writing. Thanks to a built-in queueing system, Tweet Wheel is as easy to manage as a music playlist! ### Automated queueing system In the core of the Tweet Wheel lays automated system that tweets your posts when it's time. It is very stable, safe and keeps your Twitter profile active all the time. Anyone could use a hand in driving extra traffic to their blog, right? ### Features #### Customise the queue Add, remove, exclude and shuffle the queue the way you please! Tweet Wheel will never tweet without your consent. #### Control the timing Keep your profile consistent and organised. Adjust the break between each tweet made by Tweet Wheel. #### Tweet once or infinitely Let Tweet Wheel reschedule every tweeted post.. or don't. It's up to you! #### Benefit from templating Set a default post tweet template or overwrite it with each post's custom one! #### Automatically queue new posts Add new posts to the queue on publish. Why bother when it can be done automagically! #### Engage with your audience Comment on your blog, reply to blog-related tweets and more. Leave the rest to Tweet Wheel. ### Future development This is a basic idea we have in our minds. However, our ideas to expand Tweet Wheel are endless.
