For years, I've longed for the return of a simple, collaborative calendar. Now it looks like the Internet is answering my plea. In short order, they have evolved into sophisticated software able to synchronize with desktop calendars such as Microsoft Outlook, as well as share individual and group schedules and contacts via the Internet. Some have features powerful enough to rival Exchange, but thankfully, are easier to setup and administer. The need for a simple, inexpensive, collaborative calendaring program is obvious to everyone but Bill Gates.
Business people work together.
They share lists. They track tasks. That's why I expect the popularity of these Internet calendars to soar. You can check or update your calendar from anywhere on the web. Some sites even sport access via web-enabled cellular phones.
