New Yahoo Calendar

Rutger — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:05:47 +0000

The new Yahoo Calendar is now in beta. I’m sory to say that I do not yet have been invited to the beta but from the screencast on the beta website it looks like the Yahoo Calendar has improved a lot. To be honest: it was about time. What I understand is Yahoo took Zimbra, the platform they took over last year, as the basis for the improvements. Not only does the calendar work more intuitive, it allows you more then ever before to intergate it with other Yahoo services like Flickr. If anybody has seen the actual beta calendar please write a review here at calendarreview.com.

Presdo is entirely web-based and has a simple natural language interface for entering the information needed to create events. It can export events to many calendars, such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, and Apple iCal.

Google Calendar Up Threefold Since June

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

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

Rutger — Sun, 20 May 2007 12:14:57 +0000

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.

Juxtaviews calendar review

Kevin and Shaun wrote this post on their favourite calendar apps:

This week my wife and I are trying to get our lives in order so I figured I’d feature the 10 calendar web applications that I checked out recently that aim at helping do just that – organize your schedule. Currently we’re using 30boxes so we both can keep track of each other’s schedules before we agree to something when other plans have already been made. I like 30boxes and so does she, but I’m still looking into these others as well. Maybe our readers have some comments or suggestions? Anyway, these are the ones I briefly checked out (in no order): 30boxes, Airset, CalendarHub, Google Calendar, Kiko, Mosuki, Planzo, Spongecell, Vivapop and Yahoo Calendar.
