Schedule & Post Updates For Twitter, Facebook, & LinkedIn With BufferApp [Chrome]

Buffer is a web service for scheduling tweets, LinkedIn profile and group posts, as well as Facebook updates for both profiles and pages. Buffer is great if you want to plan ahead and schedule your updates in advance. Another feature that makes it so convenient is that you can update multiple profiles simultaneously. What would make Buffer even more awesome is if you could add updates directly from a page you want to share. And you actually can with the Buffer add-on for Chrome and other browsers.

Using Buffer On Chrome

The Buffer add-on for Chrome installs like any other add-on. Once installed, the Buffer symbol appears to the left of Chrome’s URL and search bar.

When you come across a website that you want to share with your friends, you can use Buffer to post a message to Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. Left-click the Buffer add-on symbol in Chrome, log in if necessary, and Buffer will automatically create a post containing the title of the page and the URL. After adjusting the message to your liking, you can either post directly to the selected accounts or add your update to Buffer, from where it will be published according to your preset schedule.

The Buffer add-on comes with some default settings, which you can easily change. Right-click the Buffer add-on symbol in your browser and select Options. This will open a new tab with an overview of all settings. You can select the services you want to use with the Buffer add-on and you can set a keyboard shortcut.

Benefits Of The Add-On

Buffer is a fantastic tool in itself. The particular benefit of the add-on is that you can share any website directly from the respective page, whether or not that page offers sharing buttons.
