Hi, I'm the founder so this will be a little biased :)
I definitely agree that you can't respond immediately whilst you are sleeping, but it can still be effective if you are having a slightly more asynchronous conversation with people.
I have seen some people use Buffer in ways I did not expect. I originally thought it would mainly be used for broadcast, but one of the early paying users is actually using it a lot to ask questions about his particular niche (happens to be Gin).
Another thing I've started to realise is that it is much easier to react than it is to act. If you are sharing content fairly regularly using something like Buffer then it provides many opportunities to react with people who respond to the content shared.
I think, as with any tool, it can be used in an ineffective way. I would definitely not recommend people use Buffer and nothing else.
- fredoliveira 16y agoI get your points - they're valid. I'm a particular case on twitter because I have a very short username (@f) and actually miss many of my mentions when they happen at night (my account gets a huge amount of false positive mentions, some because of a regexp bug I reported to twitter years ago and that still hasn't been fixed). For people with very specific usernames (99.999% of users) that isn't an issue. Mind you, with my comment I didn't meant to diss the service - It just doesn't fit my particular use. I'm glad it fits other people fine. Good luck with the product!
