Scheduled tweets and facebook share

I create an application using Ruby on Rails. I wonder if there is any way for the users to set the date and time when the post should be shared in twitter and facebook.

I am aware of the way to normally share any post in twitter and facebook where the user will click on the share button and ent开发者_Go百科er his/her login credentials for facebook/twitter and then the post gets posted in their wall. I just want to automate this process through a scheduler.

Hope my question is clear. Please let me know If I have to explain in a better way.

Thanks.

If you look into something like Resque, you can specify for the tasks to fire at a later date. Hope this helps.

If you want your application to post something on twitter, you should use other things than the twitter button.

take a look at twitter authentication here

and later look here how to make the tweet action be delayed
