You only get one shot to impress people; don’t blow it because they won’t coming back next week to see if you’ve improved. Kiko 1.0 was released in September 2005 and was met with much fanfare for being one of the first AJAX calendars on the web. Unfortunately, the user interface was pretty bad (which is how I pushed my way onto the team) and people generally said “wow that’s cool… next!” The obvious problem is that when we launched version 2.0 I think the general reaction was “Kiko? Seen it. Hey how bout that new Google Calendar coming out?”.

It launched with much fanfare last August, and they set their course to run against a number of other calendaring apps, though Kiko’s use of Javascript was very well done and the interface, while not polished, was nice. All indications are that at the time of launch and throughout later announcements they had decent levels of traffic, and with the profile of Ycombinator! I doubt that getting potential users to the site was a problem. Then there was a period where Kiko was not available, I can’t remember the exact dates but as a former user I remember there was a long period of time where the service was not available (earlier this year in February). Shortly after they re-launched but never seemed to get traction, Google calendar launched and many of Kiko’s users defected to the new service. [...] [...] Let’s revisit the short life of Kiko.

It has limited collaboration, only stores calendar data, and just doesn’t offer the features power users will need. The only thing is that it hits the interface right on! To create events you look at a week view by default and click and drag a box in a day to create a new event that starts and ends exactly where you want it. The events can be moved around just as easily. And despite some clunky UI graphical elements it provides the functionality you expect from a modern AJAX app. In fact the free/busy, attendee invite screen in Kiko is more useful and powerful than in any other project I have looked at. They really nailed all the functionality a user would need right there. It’s sad the rest of the service isn’t as robust.  which fails in almost every way that these others excell.
