    #1: WriteRack

    Do you frequently post tweets that are longer than the maximum 140 characters? If so, you'll need to send a “tweetstorm,” or a series of tweets one right after the next. Doing this manually can be time-consuming. Instead of writing out each tweet, sign up for WriteRack and put your entire long tweet into the tool. It then divides it up, numbers it, and posts all of your tweets at once. Done and done!

    If your tweets are over 140 characters, WriteRack will automatically divide, number, and deliver shorter ones to your tweetstream.

    #2: Slick Write

    Slick Write is a user-friendly website that lets you copy and paste your social content directly into an analysis window. Slick Write analyzes your writing to find grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. Depending on the level of editing you want, settings can even be adjusted to catch mistakes like biased language and gender-specific pronouns.
