30 boxes rules!

I made an account to 30boxes.com. It rules.

This online calendar sets new standards regarding what a Web2.0 app should look like. It’s cool, it’s beautiful, and it does a hell lot of stuff.
I’m in awe!

Among other things, what it does is allow you to create and share a calendar with the public or with a selected group of buddies.

Another cool gizmo is that it allows you to build your own “web presence” as a public page aggregating several feeds (let’s call it a personal web aggregator). Looks like it will be able, soon enough, to compete with Outlook, by including contact management under the form of standardized vCards.

All it needs now is a bit of socialness and it’ll surely become a huge hit. Actually, it already is one, after only a few days since the beta launch.

You can see my 30 boxes badge on the left column of this blog, in the bottom. I’m anxious to see what other goodies are hidden inside the 30 boxes… ;-)

    M-am uitat mai bnie:
    ideea e ok, dar implementarea sucks

    De exemplu, pentru a schimba tema, face o reincarcare completa a paginii (!); pentru un site web2.0 asta sucks badly;
    pe langa asta, nu e full CSS, are width-uri in codul html, etc.

    cred ca mai au ceva de lucrat pana sa zica ca e o aplicatie web2.0

    lol :-)
    Daca nici asta nu e web2.0, atunci nu stiu care ar mai putea fi…
    Nu stiu cu ce te deranjeaza atata schimbatul temei, e o chestie pe care o faci de maxim 1-2-3 ori pe luna.
    Widthuri si altele in cod nu ma deranjeaza cu nimic; important e ca arata grozav, ca este foarte responsive, isi face treaba (e drept, ar putea fi imbunatatita destul, dar comparand cu orice altceva existent in domeniu (de pilda cu agenda de la Yahoo n co), e un urias pas inainte. In fine, problema de gusturi, mie mi se pare o aplicatie online revolutionara, cu un potential urias(e drept, ar fi destule chestii de adaugat, dar sa nu uitam ca de-abia a iesit din private alfa si a intrat in beta; mai e ceva pana la produsul final)

    ma rog, e o deformatie profesionala sa analizaez la sange aplciatiile web :)

    web2.0: “regula no 1.: nu lua de la server decat strictul necesar, in mod asincron”.
    am vazut cel putin 5-6 chestii care putea fi actualizate cu ajax , fara reincarcarea paginii

    30machin putem spune ca este un mix intre o aplicatie web2.0 si web1.0

    singura app full ajax pe care am vazut-o e gmail
