30 Boxes

Using online calendars has become rather common over the last few months. There are a lot of different calendars around and it basically comes down to your own preferences and taste which one you use. I tried Google Calendar and Kiko (which was sold for $258,100 on Ebay in August) but I simply didn’t use them as often as I should if they were to replace or at least complement my offline calendar.
So I have tried 30 Boxes and for the first time I regularly use an online calendar. I think it is much more intuitive than the aforementioned ones because I can type most information for an event in the add box without editing the entry afterwards.
As you can see from the next snapshot you can add more details if you want. But it is actually faster if you add all details in the add box. Just have a look at the help section and see how it is done.
Of course, 30 Boxes has all the features you would expect. You can subscribe to other calendars and share your own calendar which is especially great. You can decide if you want to share your complete calendar including private events or excluding private events. You can even just share those events with a certain tag. It also has import and export of ICS and CSV. Though you can’t have multiple calendars like in Google Calendar. However you can use tags to separate events from each other. Though if you need multiple calendars badly, 30 Boxes is not for you.
Some other features include adding events by email and integration of Google Maps into entries (see help section). 30 Boxes also features its own Mac OS X style desktop called Webtop:
With RSS feeds and a basic todo list it is a less featured startpage. If you don’t need the wealth of features of sites like Netvibes or Pageflakes this could be sufficient. Nice.
I think this is a great calendar that pefectly fits my needs. Check it out if you haven’t already.
