Use Thunderbird, Lightning, Remember the milk, Twitter and Google Calendar to organize tasks and calendars. Part 2.

In this part, we will talk about using Remember the milk through Twitter, mobile and Thunderbird.

1. Get a Twitter account
First, you need to go to Twitter and sign up. After sign in, click Settings on the top and select Mobile. You can add your mobile number here to tweet on the move by send message to 07624801423.


2. Get a Remember the Milk account and link with Twitter
Then, you need a Remember the Milk account. Just go to Remember the Milk and sign up. After log in, click the Service on the bottom of the window, which is shown in the following picture. I always wonder why they hide it there, which should be on the top of the page somewhere.


There are some official services which are very good. But if you want to use it on your mobile, you need to upgrade to Pro account which will cost $25 per year.  Click the Remember the Milk for Twitter. There is complete instruction on how to use Remember the Milk through Twitter on the page.
First, You'll also need to add rtm
as your friend on Twitter (either by clicking the 'add' link on rtm's profile page, or sending the message
'follow rtm' to Twitter). Then complete the setup in the box on the top right.


Then you can follow the instruction to use Remember the Milk through Twitter, or through Mobile --> Twitter --> RTM.

3. Google Calendar and Gmail sidebar.
You can also add RTM to your Google Calendar, or to your Gmail sidebar.

4. Synchronize with Lightning in Thunderbird
In RTM, click Settings --> Info, you can see the iCalendar address. You can use these address to shown tasks in Thunderbird but you can NOT add, change or delete the tasks in Thunderbird.

If you do not mind to spend about £1 per month, I recommend to use these mobile services to make it easy.
