Web Worker Head to Head: Google Calendar vs. 30Boxes

On Web Worker Dialy it is Google-takes-on-the-world-week. This week it’s the battle of the online calendars:

There are quite a few contenders we could have selected to take on the Big G…Backpack Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Airset…to name a few. In the end, 30Boxes won a chance in the ring because in a sense, it started the game. Back in February 2006, it was revolutionary to type “Meeting Barbara tues noon” and have your calendar just know to schedule the appointment on the right date with the right time. Then Google Calendar came along a few months later, forcing the 3-person shop developing 30Boxes to up their game. So in a bit of a David vs. Goliath match, let’s set an appointment to pit these two calendar applications against each other and see who’s left standing.
