I really like the idea, but the feature mentioned at the end of the post to allow limiting plans to certain friends is a must have - many of my plans I won't want the whole world to know about.
Very impressed by the date handling. I entered Thursday to Saturday and it figured out what I meant. However, I can't make it understand ranges further in the future. For example, I'm going to All Tomorrow's Parties from 11th Dec to 13th Dec and I can't make Plancast understand that.
Funny story, turns out I forgot to commit our latest date_parser before Thanksgiving break and then accidentally over-wrote it with the one from the repository because I thought it would be the most up to date. So, the current date parser has some bugs that were caught and fixed and then lost. The good news is I have re-fixed most of all those bugs and I just tested "11th Dec to 13th Dec" and it parsed it correctly.…

- Really lovely site. Lots of great touches. I typed that I will be going to Bar Wotever (actually the name of a night, not a place) tonight and it figured out where the venue is automatically.
- Could the little red bars next to each time window (today, next week etc.) give some idea of futureness? e.g. green for today, yellow for this week, red for further away in time.
- Can I hide a friend's plan?

Somebody asked recently what I meant when I said lots of startups make things for technically-inclined twenty-something males. I meant that lots of startups make things like this. If your first thought after "I kind of want to go out to dinner on Thursday." is "I wonder if a site exists that can broadcast this to my social networks yet?", you are solidly in the demographic most B2C startups seem to care about.

Personally, I think that people will begin backing away from these types of start ups and will become less inclined to reveal anything about themselves. It's just too much.
