Today, Twittercal got a nice review on Lifehacker (thanks to Adam Pash) — it was also reviewed on Mashable by the way (thanks to Kristen Nicolle).

People really liked the idea and I’m very happy about that. Twittercal has already 300 subscribed users and has processed more than 500 messages so far.

Twittercal was categorized as another “command-line for the web” — something which is getting some attention these days. I recently discovered YubNug — a kind of shell for the web — I can’t really imagine how far you can push the concept but who knows.

My objective in creating Twittercal was to reduce the number of communication channels to reach web services — starting with the calendar. Since I can access Twitter from anywhere (desktop, web or mobile) it’s a natural choice to use it as a primary input channel.

Building web applications (and services) is awesome. You can design, produce and promote a product that can touch people directly in a matter of days, not months. I agree, that’s not always rocket science but can you cite another platform as productive as the web?
