A Calendar from Tweets

Hi HN. I built this (http://hashtagEvent.me) web app over the weekend, which starts to solve a problem that I'm sure many of you have too: I want a way to get calendar events from tweets. For example, if someone you follow is going to a GitHub meetup next week and they tweeted about it, I want this information displayed somewhere in an organized manner. That's what hashtagEvent.me does, it gets tweets (which for now follow a simple syntax) and creates events with the extracted dates and descriptions.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN. I built this (http://hashtagEvent.me) web app over the weekend, which starts to solve a problem that I'm sure many of you have too: I want a way to get calendar events from tweets. For example, if someone you follow is going to a GitHub meetup next week and they tweeted about it, I want this information displayed somewhere in an organized manner. That's what hashtagEvent.me does, it gets tweets (which for now follow a simple syntax) and creates events with the extracted dates and descriptions. In my mind that's a valid concept, but I'm slowly running out of venues where to gain more exposure. I posted it to HN, but it tanked, naturally. I posted it to Reddit, where it kind of tanked. Reddit is huge, so I'm not afraid of trying again, but are there any other sites where such an app could gain a bit of exposure? I've always been fairly good at building things, but it's definitely high time to start internalizing the other side of the equation and get some marketing chops as well. I would like to hear your opinion on both, the app itself, and ways you can market X (maybe some tips from the trenches). Thanks.
