http:\/\/30boxes.com<\/a> is a brand new webservices. The public beta was launched last Sunday.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the site is to solve the surprisingly difficult problem of calendaring. What’s wrong with calendaring, you might ask? Well, lots of things. Existing calendaring applications are complicated and clumsy, unpractical for sharing and social interactions, and, well, “traditional”.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/30boxes.com<\/a> chose a fresh approach. They have totally and completely minimized and simplified the user interface.<\/p>\n

Entering events can be done with as little as filling in one single text field. Application understands human language like “tomorrow”, “yesterday”, and “next week”. You can have “buddies” which is just their term for contacts. All you have to do to add a contact is specify email address. You buddies can have calendars of their own, you can share calendars and even use the system to send invitations and confirmations\/denies for events. You can track a lot more information about your buddies too – Flickr photos, LiveJournal entries, MySpace blog, and any other RSS feed. When there are new items – you get a small icon on the appropriate day of the calendar and can quickly check what they are up to.<\/p>\n

The interface looks very clean and works pretty fast. It’s also based on AJAX technology which allows you to see updates without refreshing the page – feels nice.<\/p>\n

Check it out – it costs nothing, and can do a lot for your organized life!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
