Using Cal.com With Twitter

Twitter has changed the way we share and consume news. It allows people to get to the heart of the matter by compelling them to say what they really mean within 280 characters. Over the years, Twitter has expanded the ways it helps people connect. In addition to text-based tweets, people can also use Twitter spaces and Twitter live.

When it comes to communication, Twitter is one of the most impactful platforms. From politicians to thought leaders, academics, and artists, Twitter is where people go to let the world know what they think, right now. In a time of social distancing and constantly changing public health measures, Twitter is one of the main places where people network and share ideas. So, it's no surprise that dm's are being used for everything from communicating with friends and family to conducting business.

The problem though is that dm's don't have much in the way of filtering options. It's easy for key information to slip through the cracks and get lost. Let's be honest, dm's are just text messages with a new name tag. And text message tag, just like voicemail tag, is an exhausting and inefficient game of broken telephone.
