Unlocking the Power of Chrome: Issue 30
Welcome back to another issue of Unlocking the Power of Chrome. If you are just joining us, the basic concept is this:
Every two days I will highlight a new Google Chrome extension that I think people might find cool or useful.
If someone suggests an extension in a comment, I will dedicate an issue to that one. If I use the extension they suggest I will give them a shout-out, upvote, resteem, and follow.
Buffer
The extension that I am going to cover today is called Buffer. You can add it to Chrome by visiting the Chrome Webstore here.
The developers also have a webpage that you can visit here.
Buffer is a free-mium service that allows you to post things you find on the web to social media sites with one click. The cool thing is, it spaces the posts out through the day so that you are not clumping everything together at once.
Using Buffer you can schedule your Tweets and Facebook posts to be updated throughout the day. You can also view analytics from the extension to view statistics about retweets, clicks, mentions, shares, and likes.
The free version of Buffer allows you to post to three social media profiles. If you have more than that, you can pay a monthly fee to make that happen. The pricing is on their webpage mentioned above.
If you do a lot of posting of articles and similar content to social media sites, Buffer might be worth checking out. Give it a look when you get the chance!
Many of my posts in this series have been featured in The STEEM Engine and SteamRepair, check them out:

Cool... Haven't heard about it... Didn't know something like that existed!
Hey @bozz! Thanks for this helpful tip! I didn't know of Buffer before and will definitely have a look. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to feature Steemit (yet 😉). I'm curious to learn, how this extension develops and what additional Social Media platforms will be added along the way. Thanks for the tip and also thanks for your great series of "Unlocking the power of Chrome" posts. You got a new follower looking forward to your next post presenting another useful chrome extension. Keep up the good work! 👍
Cheers - @sblue
I was a little bummed too when I didn't see Steemit. Maybe one day they will add it though. Thank you for the comment and kind words.
Woooo, what an amazing extension. I want iiiit! Thank you, it's incredible how I didn't know about this before.
No problem. I am glad I was able to feature something you might find useful.
Excellent series! I always stick with what I know for Chrome in fear I'll download something that will slow my searches down or install a virus ;)
The cool thing with extensions is they are as easy to uninstall as they are to install. They also have a built in process viewer in chrome so you can see what extensions are using the most resources.
I love this type of service. Because I invest a lot of time in reading articles and re-posting information onto facebook, this service will be super helpful.
Thanks for sharing.
I found your post because of the #SteemUSA Discord
No problem. Thanks for the comment. I am glad you found this useful!
Really cool stuff..
Oh this extension looks to be very useful. Thank you very much for sharing, and I like that @thesteemengine banner 😉. Cheers!
