Twitter for time management

Scott Robbin has created a great little Twitter bot that lets you use Twitter to send you SMS reminders. Timer allows you to setup a reminder by sending a direct message to the bot, in the format:

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

This is a clever and useful Twitter bot, but still leaves a few things to be desired. My main complaint is that the timer only understands minutes. Many times, I might want a reminder for days or weeks in the future.

I’d love to see Timer use a syntax similar to gootodo.com, which allows scheduling reminders for days, weeks or even months in advance. It would be simple enough to do; the format could be something like this:

d timer [# of units until reminder][m/d/w] [your message]

If the unit designator is left off, minutes could be implied (allowing backward compatibility).
