据传闻Google的在线Calendar正在等待出炉，而以大家对Google的一向的期待来说，何种更佳的用户体验估计会让那帮天才颇费思量。
不过，我们至少不用干等，类似的工具网上比比皆是，例如yahoo、MS在邮箱里面都提供了类似的应用，但操作性太差，使其沦为鸡肋，或曰鸡肋不如吧，因为我所认识的人里几乎没谁用过。今天在 BlinkList上闲逛，发现http://www.planzo.com。
界面朴素、干净，且”熟悉”，对，类似于Gmail的界面，甚至说作者压根就是直接Copy Gmail的界面了――咦，google是不是可以考虑直接买下来得了。
首页上提供了一个demo入口，ajax效果得到充分应用，操作风格类似outlook，提供了日、周、月几种视图，尤其值得称道的是，其速度相当不错，操作起来很流畅。
既然是基于网络的应用，share功能显然不可或缺。

这个工具对我来说，只是起到了尝鲜的作用，尤其是从一个开发人员的角度来看其ajax的应用效果。至于使用，还是用我那个D版的outlook吧，没办法，功能强大，另外就是，手机、PDA同步一般都找它，其它的工具只好放弃。
所以，Web Calendar如果想推广的话，没有一个好的客户端结合估计不会走太远吧，不过sunbird免费，可以考虑利用。只要符合iCal格式要求即可了，一个类OPML应用。
