Twitter Timer

You can use Twitter timer to have Twitter remind you of things you need to do. Timer is a Twitter bot that lets you set an alarm by using Twitter’s direct message feature. To use Twitter timer, add timer as your friend, then send a direct message to timer (see below). Timer will then tweet you back when the number of minutes you specified has passed. The minimum number of minutes you can enter is 5 minutes.

If you’re sending a direct message via SMS/Twitterific, use the format below (if you’re using Twitter’s direct message interface, you can leave off the "d timer").

d timer [# of minutes until reminder] [your message]

Example: d timer 60 check parking meter (will remind you to drop a quarter in 60 minutes)
