Schedule Your Twitter Ads, er, Updates
Sam Gustin says: The commercialization of Twitter continues, for companies other than Twitter, at least.
Twittertise (get it? Twitter + advertise), allows users to schedule their updates for a certain time.
This is a new twist for Twitter, which is supposed to be all about what you're doing "right now."
Now companies can set specific times for sending out commercial messages like special offers, instead of having some unlucky employee manually send out the updates.
Founder Jon Steinberg, who works for Google and says Twittertise is just a hobby, tells Alley Insider that a couple of hundred folks are using the free service a day, including Comcast.
