Plancast Is Foursquare… For The Future ^{link »}

Plancast is a way to easily broadcast your plans to your online social circle. But a better way to think about it may be as a “Foursquare for the future,” ^{link »}

Here’s a perfect example: On my main Plancast page right now, I see that Hendrickson, another former TC writer Nick Gonzalez, and current TCer Jason Kincaid are all going to spend the night in the woods together in early December. I don’t know why they’re doing it, but they’re broadcasting that they’re doing it. That’s something that you really need to plan a little bit for, so if I wanted to join (I would if there was a hotel nearby that I could stay in), I could do so and let them know with the click of a button. ^{link »}

Plancast wants to integrate with the some of the calendaring services to make it easy for people to use no matter your planner of choice. Facebook Events will be a key part of this, as will Google Calendar ^{link »}

The Facebook integration is key for Plancast. The service was borne out of Facebook’s fbFund ’09 initial winners (its codename was Magellen at that point), and they’ve received a micro-seed round from that so far. ^{link »}

Currently, all plans shared on Plancast are public, but soon they will roll out a feature to allow you to share certain plans just with select friends ^{link »}
