Twitter Timer Sends Timed Twitter Reminders
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:
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:
So my previous example would look like this:
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?

It definitely should have always been the icing on the cake but in fact Simon Cowell’s birthday surprise for Nicole Scherzinger took the biscuit. The sardonic natural talent television show don patiently waited just up until the very last minute of the 2nd day related to Seattle auditions to provide his fellow judge her goodies.
