The software has the option of sending your tweets through any RSS feed that you choose. However the software has the facility to automate the software to download users to you database that you can visit at your leisure. At around $40 it is dirt cheap, however this should not be construed as inferior software, it has its own strong points.

Having found them you can download them to your database for use when you feel like. With Twitter Adder you can create a schedule of tweets even for a month or more. The software will send the tweets automatically at the interval you set. There are many other features that can be used to help you in Twitter marketing.

Hummingbird 2 another Twitter marketing software is based on Adobe’s current platform. The software has it limits and cannot be categorized as complete Twitter marketing software. If you want to search users based on the keywords they are tweeting, then the software is adequate for you but you will not be able to find users by location with this software. However, you can specify the type of users you want to follow by which the software will follow those particular users instead of following them all. But with a price tag of $97 it seems a bit costly when you consider its limitations.
