Infomaniac Tip of the Week

If you are looking for a web based calendaring system, try 30 Boxes www.30boxes.com
30 Boxes calendar is simple to use. The tool has a rudimentary understanding of scheduling grammar, so appointments can be created in a single entry box by typing something like, “lunch, noon Friday with Jack.” It’s also an aggregation service for time-based updates from your social sites and for those of your friends. It has its own e-mail that you can use to set up alerts to yourself and others, send Web links, and track responses to your e-mails.
