CalendarReview

Today Hipcal, operated by Plaxo, went down. The service is a great means for small businesses and groups of individuals to manage schedules without a network.

My business uses it to schedule conference calls across six time zones. When the service went down. They also took the whole site down. There is no way to contact anyone at the organization. My business was brought to a screeching halt without a means of seeing our scheduled calls for the day.

I’m questioning our continuing use of the service. A calender service is only as useful as it is reliable.
