Spongecell - the best choice or another Ajax calendar amongst many?
A new Ajax calendar application build on Ruby on Rails platform is celebrating its birth with a Release party on February 1. The founders promises that Spongecell means revolutionary ease of use for social networks - individual and groups - to plan an online calendar. Here is more from their press release: Why users say it's the easiest online calendar: Events are  quickly entered by typing a brief description into an entry field that we call the Sponge Bar. For example, typing "Dinner with bob friday at 8pm" will create an event instantly. Users can modify event times with a single mouse click by dragging the event to a different time.Why users say it's the most convenient online calendar: Using your cell phone's basic e-mail or text messaging, you can add or modify an event in a Spongecell calendar. Another key feature lets you text message the word "today," and then receive the day's events. Palm Pilots, and even iPods can sync to Spongecell. Our competition:Recently the social networking site MySpace, which features a basic low-technology calendar, sold to Rupert Murdoch for $580 million. Trumba, another calendar site, received $8 million in funding in November. I'm a bit surprised by their statement of who the competitors are. In my opinion Calendarhub.com and Airset.com are the real competitors and they have also their advantages. The mySpace calendar is no competition because of its obvious shortcomings & using Trumba costs $ 40,- a year. Does Spongecell want to be a real alternative? Spongecell is really easy to use, its looking nice and has some nice features (the drag & drop is just great) but one of the worst shortcomings (my opinion) is the lack of ability to subscribe to public ical calendars. Lets see how it evolves, we will keep you updated. Some of this was seized 4 u at Spongecell |
