I like the tagging, and I understand how it is much lighter weight than extra calendars, but I do prefer the calendar approach. I only need a few calendars- work, personal, fun, and holidays- so gcal’s system works well for me. Tagging is always cool, but I don’t think its necessary here.

The To Do list is slick, and it’s we have all been wanting Google to add in, but these are available all over. tadalist works very well if you are into lists…

By email integration I just meant that most people tie in email closely with their calendar, so as gmail user I lean towards gcal because of ease of access (among other reasons obviously) just as a Yahoo user might stick with their Calendar and overlook some of its shortcomings.

i normally would disagree with you – 30boxes on its own is a superior product imo. that said i started using gcal in conjunction with calgoo – http://www.calgoo.com – and it all came together. id rather use 30boxes in order to support the underdog but gcal and calgoo together managed to get my life off of ms exchange and on the right track (right track being free track).

I completely beg to differ. 30 Boxes offers a variety of themes and has many more features than gcal without the overwhelming heavy feel of gcal.

The share by tag feature in 30 Boxes lets you easily segment your calendar in very fluid fashion instead of multiple clunky calendars.

As far as “dated” — we update the code on 30 Boxes just about every single day.

We also have stellar email integration by letting you email your calendar directly to add events and attachments.

Our to do list is also arguably the best on the web.
