Web Calendars Making a Comeback

Trumba Online Calendar ServiceA News.com article says that online calendars are making a comeback and Trubma.com is one of the companies making calendars easier for web users. Trubma.com makes calendars easy to update with online forms allow users to input information and import data. Trumba also allows users to share calendars with each other for group activities. The company hopes that people will be willing to be a subscription fee to use the service. Things look good for Trumba now, but they will have to compete with the big dogs for marketshare:
Trumba isn't the only company eyeing online calendars as a potentially important market. Industry observers say it is only a matter of time until Web search leader Google of Mountain View, Calif., adds online calendar services to its online search, e-mail, calendar, blogging and shopping services.

The other two big players in online calendar services, Microsoft's MSN and Yahoo of Sunnyvale, Calif., have also continued to offer Web-based scheduling as an integrated part of their online e-mail services.
