Introducing the All-New Calendar Beta
June 11th, 2009 16 comments
If you often find yourself juggling your personal and working or studying life together, you may find this post particularly useful.
There’s an updated version of the Yahoo!7 Calendar now available to help you keep your life organised and on schedule. And that’s just the beginning. You can also personalise your Calendar with colours and photos from Flickr, create to-do lists (this is my favourite feature, as I am a true to-do list maniac) and also share your calendar with friends and family, for a more social experience.
Here’s the list of new features (some of them):
New Search: You can now search both Calendar and Notepad based on words in your event titles or notes.
To-Do Lists: Now you can have multiple to-do lists (i.e. Personal, Work, etc.), and you can share to-do lists just like you can share your calendar. And if you don’t like to-do lists, you can hide them (just click and drag the to-do list to close it).
Print: There’s a new print button that allows you to print your Month, Week or Day view.
Right-click: A new right-click shortcut menu lets you add and view events, plus more. Give it a try!
Easily drag and drop events to reschedule appointments without having to refresh your web page.
Ok, by now you should be asking yourself “how can I get to try the All-New Calendar Beta?” It’s simple. Just sign into Yahoo!7 with your ID and password and then visit this page: http://switch.calendar.yahoo.com/m/landing.php
If you are still not convinced to give it a go, maybe watching this video might change your mind?

Note: This video showcases the US version of Yahoo! Calendar. Please note that SMS event reminders are not available for users of Yahoo!7 Calendar in Australia.
But wait – there’s more! The following features will be coming soon in addition to what you see in beta now:
- Outlook Sync for Calendar and Address Book
- Apple iphone sync with iphone3.0
We’d love to hear your feedback and comments on our new Calendar Beta.
Cheers,
Tasla – Yahoo!7 Mail Product Manager
