Anyone know of any startups doing anything big with calendars of late? I feel like they could handily outpace Google Calendar, which has rolled out very few updates over the past few years.<p>I still use Google Calendar because it's the best (and just about the only) free, web-based offering, but I'd love to hear about alternatives.
This is a direct stab at a bunch of offerings out there: GenBook, BookFresh, Appointment-Plus, etc.<p>Of course this won't have enough features to compete with all the products, but for a SMB with relatively low number of employees it's quite possible than they go to Google first.
I think this feature has been long since over due in Google calendar and i'm pretty excited to give it a whirl.... still waiting on android calendar API support from Google. :/<p>I would check out OHours, its actually been a pretty neat way to to set up office hours for myself and allow others to sign up and come meet me. <a href="http://ohours.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ohours.org/</a>
I hope they add an easy-to-remember URL too, like google.com/calendar/username. That's one of the features I like out of the other appointment scheduling apps.
