Mixin

@gapingvoid shared a link to mixin which does for time what dopplr does for geography. Check out the video.

You can add your activities by time using IM, twitter, email, SMS and say when you'll be available and where you'll be.

The video then takes you through an activity, what are you doing, where will you be and when will you be there and you can invite any of your friends. Each activity is a conversation incorporating images video and audio - very much like a life-stream feed. You can also discover other people - as you might expect.

I like it as a tool but I am too loyal to twitter to move to anything else right now.

Hi chris, mixin is not a replacement for twitter, it's complementary to it. It will give you a filtered view on the future while twitter is more focusing on the present and past. But mixin can also extend twitter in the sense that you can publish activities on your miin agenda from twitter "drink with buddies friday evening" also. Check it out, maybe it'll give you over time a good view on what your friends are doing this weekend

In my world complimentary and replacement are often the same thing but I take your point.
