Buffer – Simple, Effective... But Lacks Some Muscle I’ve been using Buffer for a while, and honestly... it’s great if you just want something that’s straightforward and gets the job done. It’s got this super clean interface that makes scheduling and posting across multiple platforms a breeze. Perfect for when you just need to get content out without any hassle. What Works: 1) Scheduling Made Easy: Buffer’s scheduling is as simple as it gets. Just queue up your posts, and you’re set. If you’re a solo user or a small business, this tool is basically plug-and-play. 2) Decent Analytics: The analytics cover the basics, like engagement and reach, which is enough if you’re not diving deep. You get a quick look at what’s working, but that’s about it. 3) Affordable: Compared to other tools... Buffer’s pricing feels fair. It’s friendly on the budget, especially if you’re not looking for all the bells and whistles. Could Be Better: 1) Limited Insights: Here’s the catch... the analytics feel pretty basic. No deep dives or audience insights, so if you want more detailed data, you might feel a bit limited. 2) Collaboration: It’s there, but it’s nothing fancy. If you’re managing a big team, you’ll probably want something with more advanced collaboration tools. Buffer vs. Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Later Hootsuite: Hootsuite is like Buffer’s older sibling... more powerful, but a bit overkill if you just need something simple. It’s got richer analytics and way more features, but it’s pricey and a bit clunky if you’re looking for a clean setup. Sprout Social: This one’s for bigger teams. It’s loaded with collaboration and listening features, which is awesome for large brands, but definitely on the pricier side. Probably too much if you’re just a small team or solo. Later: If Instagram is your main game, Later’s got you. It’s super visual, with a drag-and-drop calendar that’s perfect for IG. But... it’s limited if you need an all-rounder for multiple platforms. Final Take Buffer’s a win if you want simplicity, affordability, and you don’t need super-deep insights. For anything bigger or more complex, Hootsuite or Sprout Social might be a better fit... and for IG, Later has that visual planning edge.

It's ironic to see so many people on Twitter hate on Twitter. It has its problems, but it's still the best place to build a network and learn from smart folks (at least in tech) if used well.
