Schedulefly users can now post updates to their Twitter account while checking their work schedule, posting messages or trading shifts. More and more people are using Schedulefly on a daily basis to connect with their co-workers for various reasons. We thought that the Twitter question “what are you doing?” was a good question to ask Schedulefly users while they are logged in – since they are often taking some action or learning something that directly or indirectly affects those around them….

A couple of examples:

1. You’re Requesting Time Off: Drop a tweet to let Mom, Dad, big brother and little sister know that you just asked off for the family beach vacation – WELL in advance. They can now send the deposit and start planning!

2. You’re Picking up a Shift: It’s Friday morning and you just picked up a Friday night shift. Drop a tweet to your friends to let them know you’ll be arriving fashionably late to the party that night….but with cash in your pocket!

3. You’re Reading a Message on the Company Message Board: You just read a message from your manager that tomorrow night is half price appetizers and $2 Margaritas – Spread the Word! Drop a quick tweet to let your crew know….your manager will thank you.

We’ve also added the twitter timeline of a user to their Schedulefly profile – along side their contact information and upcoming work schedule.

Twitter is fun and certainly useful. It definitely adds some fun and usefulness to online employee scheduling at Schedulefly. Thanks Twitter – for a great API!

Cheers
