Social media and technology companies offer similar features to one another. For example, Twitter (via TweetDeck) and Facebook already allow users to schedule their messages. Gmail also allows you to schedule your emails. Third-party platforms such as Hootsuite and Buffer already allow users to schedule their posts on LinkedIn. However, some people may not feel comfortable sharing access to their accounts with these platforms due to security concerns.
