No repeat mode

I’ve been asked by a handful of users for a “repeat” option on Twittertise.  Something like re-tweet a given message ever day at 10am.  I don’t think, we’re going to add that feature; I think it lends itself to much to spam.  I’ve always felt that there’s little issue of spam on Twittertise, because only opt-in followers see any messages sent over Twitter.  However, with that said, I think a repeat feature would have the unintended consequence of annoying lots of followers and having them depart.

As it stands right now, Twittertise preserves the original intent of Twitter.  Each message has to be individual and actively written by the Tweeter.  Twittertise simply allows the Tweeter to space out his messages; which to my mind, creates an experience that is much nicer for the follower than 10 messages sent rapidly in sequence.

Also, several friends, have told me they are inputting their schedules for the day into Twittertise (i.e. “10am I’m at breakfast at the diner on 76th,” “3pm at a meeting around the corner from Union Square,” etc.)  This is ideal for people who prefer not to be texting all day but like to let friends and co-workers know where they’re at for on the spot meetups or just fyi purposes.

Long story short, I don’t think “repeat” fits with any purpose I conceive of right now, but who knows, the future is long.
