Webtop will give those users another reason to try out 30 Boxes. No Tags [...]

I cant even begin to get into the many features, and honestly do not want to as they are covered so well by others.

Synchronization with existing systems is the only way to succeed in this space. my wishlist includes a condensed view which would be more usable than block view for publishing a list of events on a website.

I gotta admit, I have found 30boxes.com to be quite useful. Its nice and clean. Uncluttered.
A simple calendar from the start, but when and if you want to get more in-depth, it works like a treat!
If any of the guys from 30boxes are reading this… Great Work!

Until someone comes out with a calendar that has a “due to” (me) list, I’m not interested in moving beyond paper. At least there, I can note that someone owes me something.

Nik, if you want something that separates you from everyone else, there it is. E-mail me for more information.

I’m a great fan of 30 Boxes. I was looking out for a tool with which I could synchronize my calender at my office machine with my home desktop, and 30 Boxes solved the problem. I used kiko to some extent, but didn’t like it too much. It would be interesting to see how Google’s CL2 calender application compares to Kiko and 30Boxes. Both of these are existing calender applications and make a heavy use of AJAX. 30 Boxes has all features that CL2 is going to have. Since it’s still in beta, it lacks some cool features like drag and drop or selecting multiple dates with the mouse. It’s just a matter of time ,but history says Google has always won the race-let’s see..

The only thing 30 Boxes is missing is a to-do list…that’s the deal breaker for me right now.

I’ve been using 30 Boxes for a month or so and I absolutely love it. Instead of trying to do many things the typical way, it focuses on making the important functions of a calendar less obtrusive for the user.

For example, I can type the event, time, place, notes, and tag it all in one line and it’ll sort and organize the information. The developers really focused on the user experience. Also, it is aesthetically pleasing and has flow.

I did the review of 30 Boxes and Spongecell natual language engines (I use neither and have no real interest in which one succeeds). As stated, 30 Boxes did horribly in my review. Narendra, who is a very responsive and nice guy, points out that my examples were skewed in that 5 used the same string.

What he means is that 5 of my text strings referred to the time at “at 5″ or “at 7″ without any indication of PM or AM. Perhaps I’m a little too harsh, but when I read “natural language” I expect the parser to be able to understand or at least make reasonable interpretations based on as little input as possible. In short, if I can understand it, the parser should be able to understand it. Otherwise it’s not “natural language.”

Here is one particularly difficult-to-parse example from my review:

“CSI viewing party tomorrow night”
30 Boxes scheduled a full day event on the next day with the event title of “CSI viewing party night.”
Spongecell scheduled an event the next day at 8pm, with the event title of “CSI viewing party.”

Clearly decisions had to be made: Spongecell was aggressive and interpreted “night” as 8pm. It also removed this time element from the description. 30 Boxes was conservative and parsed it as a full day event and included “night” in the title.

This tells me that 30 Boxes does not even attempt to parse “night.”

What does this mean for the user? Well, if the event was for 9pm, then the Spongecell user only has to drag the event down to 9pm and he’s fine. For the 30 Boxes user, he has to change the time of the event and also edit the Event title. To me, this makes the Spongecell engine stronger.

I have been using 30Boxes for about a month.. I love it, but need a couple things to be solved..

I would like to give some of my buddies the ability to schedule events to my calendar without my acknowledgement

There has got to be a way to check your calendar via SMS/mobile (not get reminders, but get the schedule maybe a a return SMS)..

Personally, I like 30 boxes a lot; it suits my needs for a calendaring application, which is mostly just to remember birthdays, appointments, and self reminders. It’s certainly better than any of the other web calendars I’ve tried and most desktop applications, and I like the innovative features like the Flickr innovation.

It’s not everything, but I’ve been impressed with the speed that they’re rolling out features and I’m willing to give them time.

I feel sorry for anyone in this market once Google Calendar gets released, but I think they’re on the right track, and I hope they can find a way to remain competitive.

[...] Okei, 30 Boxes on siis hyvä kalenteriohjelma: vähän AJAXia siellä täällä, RSS:t ja API:t saatavilla, mukavia värejä ja niin edelleen… mutta englanniksi! Aivan kuten lähes kaikissa web-sovelluksissa, päivämäärät ilmaistaan kk/pp/vvvv -muodossa, kellonajat oletuksena 12-tuntisina, lyhenteet ovat englanniksi. Mitä muuta edes odotimme? [...]

As a developer, I actually think 30b is pretty cool. There are certain things I personally don’t care for, but in general, I admire their openness and their forward thinking. However, I do not really see it as a great family calendar replacement.

Our site (http://www.myhomepoint.com) is specifically geared toward that niche. We have skipped (for now) some of the cool Web 2.0 things like drag-and-drop (why is that so critical? ) and an API, but it is dead simple for mom or dad to create an account for _the entire family_ and be up and running.

One thing that I think is a difficult sell for 30b (and other web calendars) is that they are inherently individual, and there’s a separate process of invitation, acceptance, and setup for each person. In a family, that’s just not how things work. Does each family member have to go to WalMart and purchase a separate refrigerator calendar, only to then hook them up later? How do you have your kids or your pets actually _on_ the calendar? In 30b, you create a tag labeled “Johnny” — in our site, you create a family member named Johnny and assign an event to him. Same thing (basically) but which one does the “soccer mom” understand more naturally?

We are not perfect. Heck, we’re not even really ready for primetime just yet. But I think that sites like 30b (and AirSet, HipCal, SpongeCell, etc. etc.) while being really good for some audiences, will still fail to capture the minds and hearts of the true non-techie, non-bloggie, family types. We’re building our site to pass the “spouse test.” When I ask my wife about APIs, natural language data entry, RSS syndication, all I get back is a blank stare. If our wives get it, then we’re moving in the right direction.

Again, we’re not aiming for everyone (just like Narendra says they are not), but we feel that there’s an audience for us that’s probably different than that for 30b. I wish you guys luck!
