He will tell us about the history of the IPKat and also the history of the blog Class 46. Also we want to tell you about a really cool tool for you and, as a matter of fact, we will do that right now.

KS: Rolf, I’m sure that many of our listeners are actively involved with social media as part of their daily marketing routines. One particular App and Website that I have been using frequently is called Buffer. What I like about Buffer is that you can load some tweets that you would like to go out at various times during the day. You can then also see how many people are clicking on the particular tweets that you are sending out and it is a great way to manage your feed that goes out under your name on Twitter. I think getting the statistics is a great thing so you can see what is the reach of your particular message. Is it important to tweet in the morning or the afternoon or at night? If there is a particular country that you would like to target, obviously, if people are sleeping they are not likely to be reading your tweets but if you figure out what a good time is to tweet out to the people in Europe or Asia, Buffer can help you. It is a great way to get your message out to many people and can be a great thing for you to integrate into your social media practice. You can get more information through their faq that is available at bufferapp.com/faq. The Website is available at www.bufferapp.com. Happy tweeting!
