DISQUS

    This is ridiculous. If anyone wonders if we're in a bubble this is proof. And I'm not speaking out of my hat- I manage a division of an SaaS company that sells a collaboration suite including shared calendars, files, Gb email, contacts, IM and more. Their price point is not competitive and their product is not innovative. In any case if we wait a few days someone will announce an Ajax online calendar for free...of course they won't be able to support or scale it but...

    You guys made this up! KP really invested in this? Geez, I must really be missing something. How exactly is this a business?

    When one thinks Calendar is a CALENDAR, then bubbles are flying everywhere; but think Calendar is NOT a CALENDAR, then things begin to make sense. It's hardly the technologies behind it that's essential, it's MvM and MvA needs.

    or go the free route with something like rsscalendar.com or upcoming.org.

    We would be remiss not to make our presence felt in this community too - check out Mediabee Family Dashboard (http://mediabee.com/dashboard).

    Mediabee focuses on home calendaring and mom as the primary household organizer and attempts to break down the barriers to adoption of non-paper solutions, because the vast majority of households still use paper calendars. Some have called it "Outlook for the home", but that doesn't do it justice.

    It is by no means a solution for everyone, but thousands of users, including some in the valley (gasp), and even some small businesses, have found it works well for them.
