Yahoo! Calendar
Sarah Perez on December 28th, 2005
Tired of waiting for Google Calendar? Maybe you should try Yahoo! Calendar instead. Listed as one of the Top Underrated Apps of 2005, Yahoo! Calendar gets the job done. With features like email and IM reminders, a notepad, and the ability to share your calendar with others, Yahoo! Calendar has been offering everything (well, mostly everything) you need in an online calendar for ages. Of course, it works better if you actually use your Yahoo! email address as your main email (hence my problem with it since I’m a Google girl). However, with it’s glaring ads and Web 1.0 look and feel, Yahoo! Calendar is ready for a redesign. Then again, maybe Yahoo! will just add Backpack to their list of acquisitions instead.

Hi Sarah
Totally agree, the Yahoo! calendar is excellent. You can always divert all your Yahoo! mail elsewhere with “POP Access and Forwarding”. You get a bit of commercial mail from Yahoo (almost spam, but not quite) or have to pay for it, but if you forward somewhere else and filter properly then you’re good to go!
Oh, and congrats on your nomination as a BlogMad beta tester

Yep, congrats! A better option than Google or Yahoo Calendar is Sunbird, a fantastic free Mozilla-developed PIM!
