Here is how it works:

First you need to follow @gcal on Twitter, After that, you need to grant Twittercal a permission to access your Google Calendar account. Once you have done that, you can start adding events to your Google Calendar by sending direct messages.

For example, sending “d gcal meet Elisha at Mcdonald’s tomorrow at 10 a.m.” will add “meet Elisha at Mcdonald’s tomorrow at 10 a.m.” to your schedule. It’s that easy.

Features:

• Add events to your Google Calendar from your favorite Twitter client.
• Really easy to get started.
• No registration needed, free.
