Here’s how you can use Twitter’s scheduling option:

• Go to Twitter’s site on your desktop.
• Type your tweet, and click the schedule button (the one with a calendar icon) in your Compose box.

• Set the date and time for when you want to send the tweet. You can also look at all your scheduled drafts through the Scheduled Tweets button and delete the ones you no longer need.

This feature will help schedule tweets to wish someone on their birthday — if you’re feeling sleepy or generally forgetful.
