I guess direct messaging would be best; Like you mentioned, privacy is a concern and making it a RT wouldn't afford any advantages that I can see. I can get notifications from twitter via a client app or SMS too so I don't think email would be a huge advantage either.

Whilst small, direct messaging will not be an issue. But... "250 total direct messages per day, on any and all devices" http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 Im not sure if they will make an exception for you. I too wanted to us dm as a means of communicating, but having a limit of 250 in a day would just be crippling. Perhaps an argument in your d glu would be to allow for "trigger word or phrase" then an open message would not be as bad. Another option would be you send a tweet with a link. The page has a password which displays the message for the user.

  Initially I wasn't concerned about this because it was only me and I thought about not opening it up because of this limit, but I also thought that it'd be solvable, somehow. We could make a case for an exception, but that doesn't guarantee one. Your idea of a tweet with a link is a great one and would go a long way towards solving this. Thanks.

    The link could also give you the ability to bring your userbase back to your site. Clearly on the mobile or something, not as important. But bringing them back via the web page. Allows you more options in terms of what to display. I know you haven't mentioned nor asked. But a potential tier pricing scheme. 1) How many reminders per week / month 2) Maybe allow non paying users the ability to pick 15min blocks, yet allow paying users the freedom to create any.

      I havn't been thinking about charging but these are not bad ideas.
