Call it Baffa (Japanese translation of Buffer)
2 comments

No, gairaigo usually just sound stupid when brought back to English. How about "Kanshou" (緩衝), the native Japanese word for "buffer"?
Good idea, but this sounds a bit too close to Buffer :)
I think anything other than tampon would be fine. Since it's open source, might as well call it "tweet_scheduler".
That's the idea. (It's japanese after all)
That's because it is buffer -- baffa is just the japanese transliteration of buffer. w1ntermute is right.
