Podcast: What is Buffer? – Explained in Plain English
Buffer: A Smarter Way to Share on the Web ™
Buffer is a FREE APP that offers a way to schedule your Tweets, posts and any other web-based information you wish to share. You simply fill up your Buffer with a click of a mouse and the BufferApp automatically posts them for you throughout the day. (at the best times for your particular audience)
Why should you care about Buffer?
- Social networks / micro blogs typically work on a timeline, (latest posts on top) which means that *most* of your audience never sees your posts and shares.
- If you’re like me and can only research and post every so often, then scheduled posts work much better.
- How much better? By scheduling your posts correctly, you can increase the number of views and clicks by 200%, double your retweets and significantly increase your Klout score.
