LeeAnn Prescott (Former Research Director, Hitwise):” As you resolve to get your schedule more organized in the new year, do what more and more people are doing - use Google Calendar. A few weeks ago, Google Calendar overtook MSN Calendar in market share of US visits, and is quickly approaching Yahoo! Calendar. In the six months from June 2006 to December 2006, the market share of visits to Google Calendar increased by 333%, at the expense of its main competitors.” Read more

Windows Live Calendar is now live. As I mentioned before I’m not too impressed with the efforts from Microsoft. On a scale from 1 to 10 I would say Microsoft moved their online calendar app from a 3 to a 4.

Windows Live Calendar is now beta-open. Compared to the old calendar some necessary progrees was made. New features include:

• Share calendars
• Set reminders
• Import calendars (although it is still not possible to subscribe to calendars)

The interface seems more intuitive. All in all good improvements but still I miss features like: event search, email integration, SYNCML, off line access and the option to subscribe to calendars.
