> using automated methods that allow others to post tweets on their behalf
This is so vague that it includes effectively all integrations with anything. Setting instagram to post to your twitter feed, for example. Spam is a possibility, but also just general scheduled posting, which seems fine. I expect the reality of that statistic to be very boring.
- bartread 7y agoI imagine there's some use of tools like Hootsuite (allows you to schedule tweets) in there as well. I remember Guy Kawasaki doing a post years ago that was effectively an FAQ on his use of twitter. People would moan at him for posting the same tweet multiple times over the course of a day, which turned out to be on a schedule, but he actually had a fairly good reason. Tweets last forever (ish - unless deleted or twitter goes under) but are also kind of ephemeral in the sense that they just flit by in your stream, so you miss a lot if you only check in every so often. He wanted to increase the chances that people would see his updates, and deal with the fact that his followers were spread across timezones.
