What is Buffer?
With Buffer all you do is put a few tweets in your Buffer and the app schedules them for you throughout the day.
Different from common tweet scheduling apps, like Hootsuite’s or SocialOomph’s there is no need to schedule each individual tweet. Fixed timeslots (which you can change) determine when buffered tweets reach your followers every day. All you do is fill your Buffer with tweets.
In addition to using the website, browser extensions make it super simple to add tweets to your Buffer right there from the article you want to share.

Comments and Reviews
It works well and works with all of the services I use. Good integration.
unfortunately you cants see tweets people mention you in or even your twitter stream. (at least in free panel)
Buffer provides detailed analytics on social media performance, including engagement rates, click-through rates, and follower growth, allowing users to measure the effectiveness of their social media efforts.
The free version must allow some more channels to be added to get an idea before paying.
ya that's concerning
The perfect tool for posting on different social networks. Saves huge tone of time. I'm using it for 2 different companies and totally happy with Buffer.
I'm definitely a Buffer fan. Apart from the simple UX and clear design it's also very actively developed. There are regularly new features added and it's done in a way that doesn't make me worry about reliability.
They have a decent free plan so you can easily give it a try.
Beyond the actual product Buffer is also such an interesting business. They're 100% transparent about everything in their business (and I really mean 100%, they even post the entire team's salaries...). It's really compelling as a customer to be able to 'see into the kitchen' so to speak.
I have just started to use Buffer last week for our company Twitter account and already see the benefit. It saves me so much time spending on Twitter. I spent about 1 hour on it on Mon to schedule tweets for the whole week, then just about 15 mins a day to check if there is anything special.
A Buffer account can be linked with 12 social networks incl. Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn at once. I suddenly feel everything is under control - A great feeling that I dearly miss since we started to engage more on social media.
