What is the Best Calendar?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-talk-about dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In the flurry of AJAX applications being put to market, Google's new calendar has been getting quite a bit of attention. But being drowned out in this media blitz is Kiko, a startup from Paul Graham's Y Combinator program, along with spongecell, Trumba, Yahoo! calendar, and 30boxes. Which do you prefer?" Update: 04/16 14:55 GMT by Z : YCombinator link fixed.

  3. Gmail integration by jdbartlett · · Score: 5, Informative
    Gmail does not integration (or I haven't figure out how to switch it on).
    I may be able to help you here! According to Gogle:
    Gmail Integration
    Gmail now recognizes when messages mention events, and you can add those events to your calendar with just a couple of clicks
    More here:
    Gmail integration
    Gmail now recognizes when messages mention events, so when you get emailed about an event, you can add it to Google Calendar with just a couple clicks. Look for the Google Calendar links on the right side of your Gmail window.
    It'd be neat if iCal/Apple Mail had a feature like Gcal's Gmail integration.

    Have you tried kiko's upcoming view? It's exactly what you're asking for. As a Kiko developer, I made sure that we had a list.
