A while ago, I wrote something that takes direct messages to a Twitter account (which, remember, can only accept DMs from people it follows) and shoves it into a database, then once every once and a while, as set by crontab, sends it out. The benefit is, you have the main account follow several members of a group, you can have those people post for the group without giving them the login and such.
If I was trying to do that today, knowing what I know now, I would have used ifttt to take the DMs and put them into Buffer, and put the tweet schedule in Buffer. Alas, I have working code so I don't wanna change it. But +Doug Couch , that's seriously the way the +Lafayette Makerspace should go.
