Now you can Twitter in the future - from today!

With the constant updating, tweets and twittering going on, we all thought we were in the know and keeping our friends right up to date, to the second, right? Chris24.ca , the developer of Tweetahead doesn't think so, he can help you to do one better. He (and Tweetahead) can help you to Tweet into the future! Yup, you heard right, you can set up tweets now and deliver them into the future.   The possibilities are endless.  Now you can even automate yourself on Twitter!

The Tweet Ahead app is available as a Mac OS X dashboard Widget and can be downloaded here .

There is also a Tweet Ahead web page but we are not exactly sure what it does.  There is no info and it just asks you for a user ID and password.  We weren't comfortable entering our Twitter ID in here when we don't even know what the site is for or what it does.  

Anyway, the concept is cool.  If anyone has more details, let us all know in the comments.

Twitter Timer

Timer is a Twitter bot that helps you set an alarm for things you need to remember.  Timer will then notify you when the time is up.  It says that is not 100% accurate but give or take a minute things will work fine.  

 "Want to give it a try? It’s easy:

1. If you’re not already a Twitter user, register for a free account.
2. Add timer as your friend.
3. Send a direct message to timer. If you’re sending a direct message via SMS/Twitterific, use the format below (if you’re using Twitter’s direct message interface, you can leave off the d timer bit. More info on direct messages can be found here.): d timer [# of minutes until reminder] [your message] Example: d timer 60 check parking meter (will remind you to drop a quarter in 60 minutes) Note: 5 minutes is the minimum amount of time that you can set. In addition, if you forget to put a time, that’s what you’ll get by default.
4. Timer will then tweet you back after the specified number of minutes has passed. Please note, though, that it is not an accurate timer; many factors, including email, SMS, and Twitter delays may slow delivery. That said, it’s usually not off by much more than a minute. Keep this in mind when you’re using timer to cook macaroni (please don’t hold us responsible for soggy noodles).

The official website is here .
