Calendaring heats up

Steven Sinofsky, check this out! (Steven is the guy who runs the Microsoft Office team and I believe is the highest ranking blogger currently at Microsoft).
I just was given access to an early version of 30 boxes and it’s going to be hot when it comes out. I have one word for my first trial: wow.
Thomas Hawk has the details. It’s beautiful. I wish Microsoft would buy this company and build this into Office Live and Windows Live.

Along this topic Scott Mace is doing a “Calendar Swamp” blog and is asking questions about the calendar that’ll come with Windows Vista. Steve Makofsky is blogging about the new Windows Calendar (those screen shots look awesome!) I’ll definitely follow up there with a video. I just subscribed to Calendar Swamp. Calendaring is joining mapping as an interesting space to watch.

  1. Seeing as this post is attracting weirdo comments, I thought it the ideal place to post this:

    When the time (inevitably) comes for Scoble: The Movie to be made, can I make a shout now for Philip Seymour Hoffman to play our Robert?

    Separated at birth, I wonder?

  3. Shit, that is bad. An excellent post followed by a troll… But, I thought you were moderating your comments… Apparently, you are not.

    I have been hearing bout 30 boxes for quite some time and I am eagerly waiting to try it out. I am so waiting for Sunday.

  9. If it schedules meetings among users and rooms, I will be able to toss Outlook/Exchange once and for all (the only critical app running on Windows).

    That’ll be nice!

  11. WTF, Scoble!?

    And there you have it: The reason there are sooo many M$FT bashers (and Scoble bashers) and disproportionate amount of M$FT criticism is the overriding theme of “let’s buy them/that”.

    How about innovating for a change, Mr. Scobleizer? Perhaps that’s a foreign concept to you and the rest of Gates, Inc.

    Spend less time and money on M&A (or, more specifically – “A”) and more on R&D and get out of your rut.

    If I had a penny for every time Scoble chanted “I wish Bill/Steve would buy” some new technology or company…I’d have a whole lotta pennies.

  13. jAynBAiley: you’d have three pennies if I’m counting right.

    When someone outside Microsoft does something innovative I’m all for an acquisition. Not everything cool will come from within Microsoft.

  15. Wireless World: Real-time Head & Shoulders
    CHICAGO, Feb. 3 (UPI) — A customer at a retail store picks a bottle of shampoo off the shelf, heads to the cashier, and pays for the product. The radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on the item sends a notice to the store’s network — alerting it that inventory has been reduced. The network automatically communicates with computers at the shipping center of the shampoo maker, which triggers a shipping notice that more shampoo is on the way to replenish the dwindling stocks of Head and Shoulders.

    This vision of the retail store of the future may start to come into existence in the coming year, experts tell United Press International’s Wireless World. By Gene Koprowski

  17. Thanks for for giving Steve Sinofsky a little prod on this, Scoble. The MS calendaring scenario has been embarassingly broken for a long time. It doesn’t delight this customer to have it be so hard to share calendars outside of the Exchange environment. I can’t be the only one who is very frustrated that I can’t easily have my business-related committments in Outlook, and see a shared calendar with my family at the same time.

  22. I tried 30 Boxes earlier this week. The first thing I tried to schedule was a repeating meeting with an end date. Guess what? You can’t do that! You can have repeating meetings, but they repeat *forever*. Hello?? I do like the ease of sharing items with ‘buddies’, but there just seem to be many critical features missing.

    BTW checkout Joyent if you can. Actually show it to your engineers so they can realize what good user experience really means.

    Can the 30B calendar express dates in tree rings?

  33. How about this new windows calendar? How does it look like? I have not seen it yet, but I have heard a lot about this calendar. I guess it comes with windows vista. I am using xp yet. So I cannot use it now. I planning to take the windows 7. I guess it has the cool calendar.
