Twitter Timer Sends Timed Twitter Reminders

Twitter / timer

Twitter has rapidly grown far beyond the original “what are you doing” status service idea. More and more wonderfully creative ideas are surfacing around Twitter, such as this reminder service called “Timer“.

The idea is you send Timer a direct message in the following format:

Twitter Reminder

So the number of minutes, followed by a space, followed by the reminder message, eg.

This would send me a reminder in 5 minutes saying “call Peter”.

You get the reminder as a direct message in the following format:

Twitter Reminder

So my previous example would look like this:

Twitter

Not only that, because it is sent as a direct message, you also get an email. I don’t have my Twitter hooked up to my phone number, but I would assume if you did it would send a SMS text message also.

Now providing I remember to add a reminder I have no excuses for forgetting things ;)

Pretty neat isn’t it?
