Whoops! Haven't thought of that... you mean they have a limit on their API use? Might have to build in a schedule-tweet-maximum then...
I think the API limit is once per limit per account. So if an account has multiple tools accessing the API, it is easy to overschedule. I would put a sanity check in both your update rate and the amount you let people schedule. Don't become a twitter-DOS scheduling system :)

You can actually turn that off. It's a preference on your account settings page, and you can override that per scheduled tweet... :)

#16Aw. Just based on the title, I thought it was an app that lets you guess possible future tweets, and alerts you when anyone actually tweets your guess. That could be fun too :)

Didn't know Sendible... looks like they've taken the concept to the max. Interesting! Thanks for the link
Don't let the existence of sedible discourage you. They are too wide in focus, while you are smaller in focus and you have a better chance of getting more tweeter users than sendible.

Interesting. So what does it say when you override it? "From web"? Isn't that hard to accomplish via API?

#20> No problem, changes are you already have an OpenID url.
...should probably have "chances".
I dig the design.
