Infoteria, the company behind the TwitCal service (Twitter calendar), is launching an iPhone application – allowing users to share, follow and publish event information through Twitter.
In other words, you can use TwitCal to:
- Tweet events – i.e. birthdays, anniversaries, public events, etc.
- Follow other people’s calendars – family calendars, artists’ event schedules, sports game days and so on.
- Share event information with friends – TwitCal touts itself to be the perfect solution for managing multiple calendars.
The iPhone app supports multiple views — including day, multi-day, list, week, 2 weeks, month, and Hybrid month and day views — and 6 languages: English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
Finally, there are widgets that enable automatic event synchronization between TwitCal and Google Calendar or iCal (Mac OS X), which make the application even more usable.
If you’re an avid Twitter user and a frequent “event goer,” you’re probably already using TwitCal. Now you can access it on your iPhone, too. I’m guessing porting of the application to other platforms is planned for the near future…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
