Taweet for Streamlining Scheduling for Events via Twitter

06th November • by Craig Agranoff

taweet.gifEverywhere you look, there’s an iPhone app for that.  Now it’s getting to where there’s a Twitter app for that too.  Some are better than others, of course, and many leave a lot to be desired.  Not Taweet.com, though.  This is a great little app for doing just what it says: creating socially-networked and scheduled events via Twitter.

Think of this as Meetup for Twitter, but with better functions for that platform.   It allows businesses or people to schedule promotional events like product launches, seminars, broadcasts (online or off) and more.  It creates a sort of calendar of events leading up to the big premier, including auto-tweeted promotional tweets (even via multiple accounts).

That’s just the start though.  It also can created threaded timelines of discussions relating to the event.  So if your promoting the “BigTime Seminar” you can use a hash like #BTS or #BigTime and the discussions around those threads can be threaded as conversations.  Any Twitter search term can be used, of course.  Hash tags just make it simpler.

A public profile with all of the event information is where your action centers on Taweet.  Continuing our example with the BigTime Seminar, your BigTime Seminar account on Taweet would be linked to all of the Twitter accounts you attach to it and have access to.  So if you have a seminar-specific account, a personal account, and a business networking account, you can link all three to the BigTime Seminar profile on Taweet.

From there, visitors to the Taweet (which is promoted in every tweet it sends) will see the main linked account (say @BigTimeSeminar) and all “friended” accounts, including theirs if they’re a friend of the linked Twitter accounts.  Automatic tweets are sent as you schedule them by calendar.  The threaded discussion, latest information, website links, etc. are all prominent on your Taweet page.

Taweet is a cool idea and it’s easy to see how many uses it could have.  From promoting your kid’s baseball league to a real business seminar or convention, it has a lot of potential.  Of the few similar apps I’ve seen, this one is definitely the best so far.   Taweet is free to use and requires only a Twitter account to sign up.
