Cognition. 5 Tools to Schedule Your Tweets. With Hootsuite being down I saw myself and lots of other people in dire need to continue scheduling tweets.
So here is a list of 5 other services, which will allow you to schedule your tweets. They are all up and running. 1.) Twuffer Twuffer lets you schedule tweets on a clean interface and is completely free for you to use. 2.) FutureTweets is very similar to Twuffer and a service that is dedicated to allowing you to schedule tweets. 3.) In case you were looking for a slightly easier method, Buffer might be interesting to you. 4.) This is another interesting tool allowing you to schedule your tweets in order to remind yourself about things you don’t want to forget. 5.) Twaitter is another tool which might take a bit of time to familiarize yourself with. Ok, that's it I hope the downtime of Hootsuite will end soon and if you are in desparate need for another scheduling tool, I hope the above ones help you with it! Connect: Authored by:
Rick Heller - Reviving Stoic Practice. Print This Article by Rick Heller "We are currently planning our First Annual Marcus Aurelius Convention to commemorate his birthday (April 26) in San Diego Erik Wiegardt is the founder of New Stoa, a contemporary Stoic community that seeks to revive the ancient philosophy of Stoicism as a living practice.
Unlike the communities discussed in Emily Cadik's article, Come Together, the Stoic community, which encourages Deism, is not strictly speaking a secular humanist community. But there is a certain amount of overlap, and knowledge to be discovered through dialogue. TNH: What can secular humanists learn and apply from the philosophy of Stoicism? Wiegardt: Nothing. I would venture to say that all Stoics are humanists, even though not all humanists are Stoics. The starting point of our ethics is actually based upon our physics.
