We have never promoted Twitter on this blog. Yesterday we decided that it would be a good idea to get started with it. We plan to do a study (confidential for now) and show you some results in a months time. In the meantime, we saw that when we followed some people, there were automatic responses asking us to visit their site or some kind of affiliate promotion.
TweetLater is a service that can help you setup an auto response service. It similar to how aweber works with emails. They also allow you to bulk upload and schedule tweets. Other tools offered include auto follow people that follow you, url shortning and mass emptying the direct message inbox.

Try TweetLater
I personally dont really like receiving auto DM’s when i follow someone new. Some people agree with me and some don’t… use with caution :-)
I hate DM’s that try to sell something or do a survey etc.
I use this service just to welcome people for following me. But what you have said is true.
I’ve been hearing of tweetlater for a long time but not knowing it’s features kept me away from wasting my precious time and money at the cybercafe setting it up. Now I know what it has to offer, I can’t wait to use it to the fullest

For Twitter automation i’ve got to say Twimbo from iq143.com was one of the easiest to set up and one of the more intelligent bots.
It only took a few minutes to set up and it’s currently priced low for early adopters. My traffic has doubled since using it and I now have a great following on Twitter. I’ve even had new paying customers as a result! Winner.
