When Daniel first mentioned the idea behind Quuu on Maker Hunt, I must say I was quite skeptical: Buffer suggestions felt so fake, it left a very bad impression on me.
After helping to beta test Quuu, I must say I've been very impressed: the quality of curated content is really where Quuu is shining, I was always waiting for my Quuu post with eager, and those tweets were by far my most successful :)
A suggestion for the future of Quuu, @danielkempe : I already mentioned it, but I think the most important thing would be to have a chance to review content before posting, it always feel weird to discover it after posting it :)
Also, I've discovered a perfect use case for Quuu yesterday: company accounts. I've set up a twitter account for my next company, and immediately wondered: how do I feed content in it? When service is about user generated content like Product Hunt, it's easy to know what to tweet: just tweet links to the best content from your users. But what if your users do not generate anything public?
I find company accounts that just post service announcements and links to their blog posts quite annoying. Are they worth following, rather than just visiting their timeline when you want info? With Quuu, you can select categories that match your service theme, and provide all day long quality content to your followers, even if you don't have any budget yet to hire a social media marketer. That rocks.

@oelmekki Thank you Olivier. We believe the only way to automate part of your social media content is via humans, not machines, so really glad to hear that you are pleased with the quality so far.
A few people have asked us about a review process for content, so this is most certainly something we are looking into.
Quuu is here to enhance your existing posts, so would work great for company accounts, like you say! :-)

@oelmekki Totally agree on the use case for company accounts here, especially for early accounts that need to provide value but don't have the time/budget to spend on hand curating every tweet.

@oelmekki +1 on being able to review content. I have some brands that I would totally automate, but others I just need a quick look at the link before it goes out.
Out of curiosity, does the buffer API allow you to schedule the Quuu tweets? Like would it allow me to schedule my quuu tweets to go out at a specific time, separate to the rest of my buffer queue?

@rossdcurrie @oelmekki Hey Ross, currently Quuu posts fall in line with your existing Buffer schedule. You can then re-adjust within Buffer if required. :-)

@rossdcurrie Yes the buffer API does allow you to set a time for the post to get sent. Out of the scope for our initial release, we'd need to allow you to build and manage that schedule. Something on our roadmap though :)

@mubashariqbal @oelmekki That would be rad - allowing me to set a separate schedule for the posts coming out of quuu.
