It only took a few minutes to set up and it's currently priced low for early adopters. My traffic has doubled since using it and I now have a great following on Twitter.

Not the more personal stuff, just the few business things that I could plan ahead. That's what I would find great.

It seems that a new medium takes off because it attracts real people saying real things (like twitter, and blogs before it). As soon as a medium gets big enough, there is a rush to automate in order to push more content and make $. This can only be sustained for so long before there is a new medium where real people can have real conversations without constant spam, bacn, and bots. Now that I think about it, it's exactly those reasons that have made me shun MySpace, barely tolerate email, waffle on Facebook, and enjoy Twitter. Luckily, my auto-feed on Twitter didn't actually work. I'll be more conscientious about keeping it real in the future. You bring up a great point, Mike, about the humanness of new media.

If it can disperse Tweets at predefined intervals and the content it is posting is relevant or interesting, it might work, but otherwise it's just like old media that gets pushed out onto the audience without their input.
