July 2, 2011 2 comments Buffer

Here at Buffer, Joel and I changed quite a few things over the past few months. Recently, we decided to give all of our available plans an upgrade in order to match the value we think the product provides.

So here is what you get now:

How To Use The New Buffering Patterns [NEW FEATURE]

July 1, 2011 15 comments Buffer

The feedback and request we received for this feature during the week was purely amazing. Thanks to everyone who got in touch and requested that this could be useful to them.

As of today, you can easily add additional Buffering patterns to make your Tweeting more personalised.

What is Buffer?

Buffer is a completely new way to share the content we come across each day. You simply drop Tweets into your Buffer and the App posts them for you well spaced out over the day.
