It is rather disturbing to see everything free online and users revolting even because of web services making them watch some ads to earn at least something to sustain their businesses.

Basically, Calgoo is a suite of calendar tools that allows you to have a single desktop calendar solution that synchronizes all your calendars across different platforms, including [...]

As I've pointed out many times before, many Web 2.0 "apps" are merely features that could be added to existing products on the market. There seems to be a tendency to build these small extensions since they have a lower entry point, cost less money, and have a more obvious exit plan: get bought by the company whose app you are enhancing.
So when Xobni's near-imminent purchase by Microsoft seemed all but signed on the dotted line, it all made perfect [...]

I have four children. Four. And each one has his or her own calendar that requires constant syncing with my calendar as well as my husband's calendar so that we know who has to be where at what time. Calendars are such a problem for us that I try every single time/appointment manager as soon as I find it, from Sandy to virtual assistants. Since I still haven't found one app that does everything I need it to do, I [...]

News reports from throughout the tech world are out about Yahoo!’s release of its new Mail application from beta. Problem is, it’s not out of beta. Not yet, at least.
Log in to the service (first debuted in September ’06) and you find the ‘Beta’ tag still fit snug right below the logo. Why’s it still there? Well, the company’s going to perform a sort of worldwide “rollout”. According to Elinor Mills of CNET’s Webware blog, it’s going to happen over [...]

Though I was apprehensive about the all hoopla around Plaxo over the past few weeks, I must admit the unveiling Monday of the new Plaxo 3.0 was stunning and exciting… at first.
I started using Plaxo, oh, 2004? Earlier? Well, a VERY long time. I liked it because it gave me a very nice little interface between my Outlook contacts and an online interface to access those contacts. I can't tell you how many times I was saved when looking up [...]

The online calendar market was a sparse one a few months ago. Within a single year, there have been major developments in the segment, one of which you???ve undoubtedly heard of: Google Calendar. ???G-Cal??? is the application???s name in my circle, but let’s skip the nomenclature.
Google Calendar is an immensely simple item with lots of nooks and crannies, as all good things are. Google can definitely chalk up several flops for itself on the great big board of internet-born losers, [...]
