It’s ready! Delayed reposts!


It’s ready! Delayed reposts!

Repost scheduling got a brand new functionality that allows you to delay reposts for a specific time period.

This is an alternative to scheduling of reposts to a predefined set of times, Friends+Me simply delays reposts of newly fetched Google+ posts.

Easy to enable, easy to use!

It’s here! Embedded Twitter images support

It’s here! Embedded Twitter images support

This long time expected Friends+Me feature is finally here to help you increase clicks, favorites and retweets of your Twitter posts originated from Google+.

Any image Friends+Me finds in your Google+ post will be reposted to Twitter as an embedded image.

What is it all about? Twitter recently announced a new feature where images can be viewed in the stream without clicking to view and this can get you a significant increase in engagement.

Buffer did some research regarding the impact of this new Twitter feature and results look very promising:

• Tweets with images received 89% more favourites
• Tweets with images received 18% more clicks than those without
• Tweets with images received 150% more retweets

It looks great, doesn’t it? And believe me, your Twitter followers are gonna love it!

Thanks go to Ben Johnston for helping during tests and for pushing us to implement this feature 🙂

Scheduling of reposts from Google+ to other social networks #newfeatures


Scheduling of reposts from Google+ to other social networks #newfeatures

One of the most requested features is finally here. Friends+Me allows you to schedule reposts of Google+ posts to other social networks.

You will be able to define days and times at which you want Friends+Me to repost queued Google+ posts to other social networks to keep your content always fresh.

Publishing at times, when the most of the followers is online, increases the engagement and chance of actions such as retweet/share/like/favorite.

How does it work in detail? Repost scheduling is disabled by default and can be enabled for every destination account separately with a time zone for which you will define reposting times. Reposting schedule allows to select days of the week and define unlimited number of reposting times. Premium accounts are allowed to create more than one reposting schedule, this way you can define different times for every single day of the week.

With scheduling enabled, every fetched Google+ post is saved to a queue and scheduled to the next predefined reposting time. Enabled scheduling can be selectively disabled per post, all you have to do is to include hashtag within the Google+ post.
