The whole idea derived from a problem that founder of Pluggio, Justin Vincent, had. More specifically, he did not just want to propagate content on the internet. All pre-existing RSS feed solutions for automatic publishing did not suit him. In fact, he didn’t like the idea of pushing half dozen Twitter updates at once. So what did he do?

He created Pluggio, an online tool which helps you manage your Twitter account more efficiently, thus helping you grow your audience and your influence. To set the record straight; This is not the simplest tool to use and you need to devote some time in order to understand its full potential. However, it’s worth the time, believe us.
Pluggio is set around 5 major dashboards: Your Twitter account, Content, Schedule, Statistics and Friends dashboards. Let’s take them one by one.
- On Twitter Dashboard you have all the options available on your accounts, such as DMs, timeline, retweets and saved searches.
- When you switch to Content Dashboard, you have an instant view of the content that interests you the most. You can add Accounts that you like to read, have a glimpse on the latest Twitter news, see the timeline that is produced by your saved searches. Here, you can chose the stories you like and add them to the queue for publishing or flag them in order to review them, edit them and post them at your own convenience.

- Up next is the Schedule Dashboard. Here, you have quite some options; you can view all your scheduled items, what you’ve just posted, schedule bulk updates and also you have access to the Dripfeed functionality. This is what diversifies Pluggio from the rest of the other automated tools. You can choose to publish to your account from other tweets, feeds or news at the time you specify.
