Getting it on with the next big(?) thing

I have just opened an account at 30boxes. There's been a lot of buzz from some major bloggers about this web 2.0 online calendar, so I'm pretty stoked on trying it out.

My first impression is very good. Like Gmail, it has a dedicated mobile (phone) version of the site. You can almost enter dates in 'real' language, which sounds gimmicky, but really offers very neat functionality. For instance, if I want to enter Oliver's birthday, I'll type Oliver's birthday August 16 repeat yearly and I'm done.
You can subscribe from iCal, invite people at entering an activity, connect to flickr, use several e-mail addresses, skins are swappable an some alternative ones are already available, and reminders are in the works. At this moment the first Firefox extension (or hack rather) has already been made available - through which you can enter appointments to the search bar in Firefox.

This sure seems like a nice one! Go have a look for yourself
