Twitter’s Remember The Milk
Do you use Twitter? Do you ever have one of those days that you need extra reminders to do something, like get milk at the grocery, call someone, important dates (you know what those are already)? Have Twitter direct message you to remind you to do something.
Remember the Milk can be found at http://www.rememberthemilk.com and @rtm on Twitter. Just add @rtm to your Following members on Twitter, then go to the website, create an account, and go to Settings, Reminders:
Then, all you need to do is start filing your tasks which can be done directly from your phone or from email. The full Getting Started Guide can be found here: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/guide/
For use with Twitter, the guide is here: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/twitter/
To use with Twitter (once you are following), all you have to do is send a direct message to rtm, and you’ll be reminded. For instance, d rtm pick up the milk will create a new task with that name, or d rtm call rod at 5pm tomorrow will set up a reminder tomorrow at 5 PM. d rtm buy tickets in two weeks will set up a reminder two weeks from today. Need to mark the task complete? d rtm !complete call rod will mark the task complete. d rtm !postpone call rod will postpone the task. If your mobile a lot, this is a great way to remind yourself while out. Just don’t forget the “d rtm” or it could turn embarrassing.
There’s a full listing of the commands on the twitter services page at rtm noted above. Give it a go. Just another great way to utilize Twitter and stay organized at the same time.
