Remember The Milk is a free web service for managing your daily tasks.

Below are the steps to setup Executor so you can easily add a task to RTM via Twitter.

1. Add rtm as your friend in Twitter (either by clicking the ‘add’ link on rtm’s profile page, or sending the message ‘follow rtm’ to Twitter).
2. Visit this link and click on login (in the “Ready to set it up?” box). Complete the process to start interacting with Twitter.
3. Download NirCmd from here. Place nircmd.exe in any location of your choice. In my case, C:\Documents and Settings\I034708\My Documents\My Dropbox\nircmd.exe
4. Download Curl from here. Place curl.exe in the same folder where you kept nircmd.exe.
5. Add a new keyword, ‘rtm’ in Executor. Put the path of nircmd.exe in the Command field. Set Parameter as

   exec hide curl –-basic --user TwitterUN:TwitterPW --data status="d rtm $P$" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
   

   where TwitterUN and TwitterPW are your Twitter username and password.

   If you are behind a corporate proxy, modify the Parameter to add a proxy switch like so:

   exec hide curl –-basic --proxy <proxyname>:<proxyport> --user TwitterUN:TwitterPW --data status="d rtm $P$" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
   

   

That’s it! Now you can add a task to RTM by simply bringing up Executor box via the hotkey (I have set it to Alt+Space), and type ‘rtm’ then put a space and the task name. You can also set tasks to complete and update tasks. The command list can be found on this page.
