Public bug reported:

Hoping I followed the directions correctly to post a feature request.
First off, thanks to everyone on the Gwibber team for spending their
time making a great free software application. We really appreciate it.

I want to request the ability to schedule tweets (or the equivalent
posting forms on other services) for a specific time. E.g.: It's 11am
now but I want to send a particular tweet at 5pm. So I'd like to be able
to enter that tweet into Gwibber now, click a button that says
"schedule" instead of "send", and then set the time that my tweet is
actually sent by Gwibber automatically. Basically a "set it and forget
it" kind of deal.

This would be a useful feature for people who are maintaining social
media accounts for organizations such as non-profits or businesses. A
small organization often wants to maintain a twitter presence every day
(if not around the clock), but doesn't have someone whose sole job is to
watch the twitter streams. So this would allow someone to basically type
in a few tweets at the beginning of the day, rest comfortably knowing
that their tweets will be sent at the specified time, and then move on
to work on other things.

Thanks for your time reading.
