Nice work for a weekend product. How does your system handle spam? e.g. if I schedule a tweet every 1 second to 20 accounts that may get your oAuth or ip blacklisted from Twitter.
I could only see what the Pro cost is very small at the bottom of the screen. You should make your pricing structure more obvious, and I would like to select which version im signing up for before I sign up for it.
- mootothemax 17y agoRight now I handle spam by not having a recurring tweeting function ;) You have to manually send each tweet, however that's not to say someone determined (not to mention, also very bored) couldn't sit there constantly hitting the send button. I'll look in to this. I'm going to play around with where else to put the price as you're right, it's a bit hidden at the moment. Currently, the only way to pay is to log in with a Twitter account first and then upgrade from there. I'm thinking about an option to "sign up for premium" where after signing in with Twitter the user's taken to a payment page. Do you think that'd be a good idea?
- roundsquare 17y agoBut I can schedule tweets right? How does this work?
- Roridge 17y agoI suspect his application saves the datetime of when the tweet is to be made and simply submits it at that given time.
- mootothemax 17y agoGot it in one, although before a user can schedule tweets they have to tell us what their local timezone is. So that, plus some funky timezone fun inbetween :)
- mootothemax 17y agoYou can :) You set a date and time for a tweet to be sent (as well as which Twitter accounts for it to be sent across), and then TweetingMachine waits until that time to send it to Twitter. Job done!
- Roridge 17y agoYes, I do. So If you allowed me to click the option I wanted (e.g. free or pro) then you could record that selection as session data in your web app, then take me to the Twitter page. Then like you say, take me down a altered registration path if I chose pro.
- mootothemax 17y agoI'm going to get on and do this, thanks for the suggestion :-)
- Roridge 17y agoyou're welcome. I am currently working on my own Tweet Suite, shall have to let you know when it's ready so you can repay the favour ;)
