I have both Firefox and Chrome open, If doing the mag dailies in firefox and the videos play i nip onto chrome and do the womans weekly ones that don't have a video, just do one then go back to firefox and continue until another video, speeds things up for me:T

You can set up columns to to view your searches or notifications etc. I have a column for home, notifications, #rt win, #winitwednesday, #freebiefriday. You can add as many columns as you like and you are also able to schedule tweets. The best thing to do is just to have a play around with it. Schedule a tweet for five minutes time and later check to see if you have done it right.

Thanks.

Are you scheduling tweets for close to the end then?

Sometimes I do if I have time as there is a theory you have a better chance of winning.
