Notes

Kiko offers a free web calendar service that allows you to keep you appointments and events online. If you have an event coming up, Kiko can notify you and anyone else you choose, via email. There are other online calendar services at Yahoo, Hotmail, and other places. Kiko tries to make your interaction with the calendar seem like it's an application installed right on your PC. You can make changes to almost anything in Kiko by right clicking on it. Very cool.

What is Kiko?

 

Slow, featureless online calendars are so Web 1.0. Kiko is a cool new web calendar that delivers all the functionality of desktop calendar software, and all the convenience of online access. And it's free!

 

What's better?

Interface

• Click On Anything - Everything is interactive. Right click it, drag it - it all works the way you expect from a native application.
• Everything's On One Page - Manage your groups, view your calendar, and create and tag your appointments all from one page.
• Be Soothed By Kiko's Pleasant Colors - Pastels are good for the soul.

Cute application, similar to Planzo that I mentioned in my email yesterday. I think the Planzo is a touch more "finished," but there doesn't seem to be any real big difference.

 

People who are using Firefox need to go to Tools, Options, Web Features, Advanced and check the box next to (allow scripts to) Disable or Replace Context Windows. I found that until I did that, the regular menu would return in less than a second and wipe out the Kiko context menu.
