Duplicate Content and tweet options
Hey team, thanks for your great work! I have a question and want to propose new settings for the automation of tweets.

1. We are in the seminar business and have different seminars to offer on our websites. Now we have dates and schedules of the seminars on localendar as well as on our business website (also including your very appreciated calendar). We have a description of the seminar also sitting on both ends. Now we want to make sure we are not getting dinged by search engines because of duplicate content. Is it considere duplicate content? It is the nature of an event that people need to know what it is about....therefore I tend to believe there is an issue. Can you please give me some feedback on that?

2. We like to tweet the events at different time spans as you offer in your settings. We would also need the option to tweet events a few times and also to tweet it three to four weeks before the event and also three or four days before the event. The settings you offer are very restrictive and it shouldn't be a hug effort to add a few more options there...that would really make it slick....

Thank you in advance and keep it all up

Re: Duplicate Content and tweet options
Hey BAExperts,

Most search engines have gotten smart when it comes to calendars. They have to be able to recognize them otherwise they would hit the "next month" link and go on forever. So I don't think you have to worry about being penalized for a duplicate event, anymore then you need to worry about an even that repeats daily, weekly, or monthly.

With regard to the multiple tweets: We're not a dedicated scheduled tweet service, so I am not sure how much more functionality we'll be building out in this area. You can of course create as many copies of events as you want and create tweets for them (and those can be private events so that your public calendar only shows a single entry)
