CalTweet (short for “Calendar Tweet”) is a
new tool that aims to let the user
create events and
advertise them to the phenomenally huge userbase that the
social web has by default.
As it stands, the system accommodates both
Twitter and
Facebook – the events that are created are promoted in these two social behemoths.
Followers can be invited just by clicking a button, and promotional tweets are sent out automatically up to four times per day. In this way, you don’t have to take manual care of contacting those you want on the guestlist. And speaking of automation, there is a feature whereby expected attendees are sent a reminder 12 and 6 hours prior to the event so that the turnout will be somehow guaranteed.
Of course, your followers can publicize the event by merely retweeting it and putting it about in Facebook.
In order to use CalTweet, you simply login using Twitter’s oAuth and create an event on the spot. The event is
submitted both to your
social profile and to your “My Calendar” page. As it was mentioned above, inviting others is a simple task – as simple as tweeting out, in fact. And that is a definitive plus.
