The popular tweet scheduling service HootSuite is now available on iPad. Already available for iPhone today’s update adds universal support to the app, providing a clean, efficient way to schedule tweets for posting at a certain time convenient to you.

Supporting three social networks, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare, HootSuite for iPad allows you to schedule tweets for publishing to your social following, wth a few simple taps.

You’ll be prompted through setup at launch. Once that’s done, you can begin using the network you configured. On the Twitter side, you’re presented with several columns: your main feed, mentions, direct messages (both sent and received) plus your favorites and your most recently sent tweets. Swiping lets you move from column to column.

Tapping the Compose button brings up a new window with the usual features like a photo option, location tagging and translation. Two interesting options let you schedule a tweet to go live some time in the future, and the Contacts option lets you scan a list of your Twitter contacts for quick reference.

On the Facebook side you can browse news updates and any posts that you’ve set to pending using a similar time-delay feature. All of your networks are listed on the left and it’s easy to hop between them.
